On the Rocketship

Name Your Link

I have heard from colleagues about charter schools and the philosophy of American school education. In India, we are used to teachers rotating classes teaching only their subject of expertise. It was a surprise to know that there are self-contained classes too in America. From that zero to nothing knowledge of American school system, I was glad to get a peek at the whole launch process of a charter school system through this 'On the Rocketship' book. Recently I read a book on scalability and seeing how the Rocketship school has made some of their operation leans by introducing the Learning Lab, makes it another good example of how to scale. Having read that there are so many good charter schools based in Arizona, I am going to follow more about them.
