| Abstract | Scott Hamilton is the Forrest Gump of education reform, although with a lot more IQ points and fewer chocolates. He worked for Bill Bennett in the U.S. Department of Education and for Benno Schmidt at the Edison Project. He authorized charter schools in Massachusetts, co-founded the KIPP network, quadrupled the size of Teach For America (TFA), and introduced blended learning at urban Catholic schools. But that's not enough to "move the needle" on American education, he says. He wants to do more. Now 47, he's started a new initiative called Circumventure, based in San Francisco. Through surveys, focus groups, field tests, and interviews, Circumventure is asking fundamental questions: Do people want what schools are offering? If not, what do they want? Can technology make it happen? This article features a conversation with Hamilton where he provides a more detailed description of Circumventure and how it is pursuing ways to put learning directly into the hands of children. Also discussed are the KIPP network and Teach for America. (ERIC). |
