"How Local Organizations Shape US Education"

"How Local Organizations Shape US Education" Jose Eos Trinidad, Assistant Professor, Education, UC Berkeley In conversation with Gloria Lee, social start-up founder of Educate78 and board member of Oakland REACH Karling Aguilera-Fort, deputy superintendent of the San Francisco Unified School District. Introduction by Michelle Young, Dean of the UC Berkeley School of Education The event explores how organizations outside schools have created an invisible infrastructure not only to affect local school districts but also to shape US education.The talk includes an overview of the book Subtle Webs. Using the case of school dropout prediction systems, the book provides a behind-the-scenes look at how local organizations in Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York City have transformed data and dropping out. More broadly, it argues that changes in a decentralized system happen less through top-down or bottom-up processes, and more through “outside-in” initiatives of networked organizations.
