The Parent Trigger has the power to completely transform education... from the ground up.
The Mechanism.Parents pick the best reform option for their school. With 50 percent of the parents’ signatures, that reform is implemented in the next school year. It’s that easy. |
The Modules.Every school in America is a bit different than the last. That said, blanket reforms are hard to prescribe for each and every school. The Parent Trigger allows parents to pick from a host of empirically tested school reform strategies. |
The Results.Using the Parent Trigger to implement a customized reform option for your school means that results are nearly immediate – no red tape.
