Rapid Risers: Acceleration by Design

Five education systems show us what it takes to accelerate achievement, expand access, and narrow gaps. For the first time, NCEE has identified five global Rapid Risers. These systems demonstrate that progress is not accidental. It is designed, built, and sustained. This webinar brought together experts from within two of these systems and the United States to explore what this progress looked like from within, and what lessons we can draw from it. Moderated by Vicki Phillips, the conversation featured an overview of the Rapid Risers by Tracey Burns, Chief Global Strategy & Research Officer at NCEE. The panel of experts included Joanne Weiss, former Chief of Staff at the U.S. Department of Education; Mehdi Benchaabane of the Qatar Foundation; and Franco Mosso Cobián, cofounder of Enseña Peru.
