Description of Duke School of Business Video: Elliot Sanchez — Founder, mSchool (http://mschools.org/)

“Making Communities into Classrooms.” What works and what doesn’t in math education? How do we fix schools? Elliot concludes that Fixing Education ≠ Fixing Schools. By using data to refocus on the most effective learning tools, he’ll give examples of how to combine academic rigor with an outwardly engaged community. The takeaway? Hard data is discouraging to collect and analyze, but this method has focused Elliot’s work and tracked his impact.
