On November 11, 2015, the Northwestern University EDU student organization and MSEd co-sponsored a debate about charter schools, along with several other student groups. Northwestern student Matthew Fulle did a great job of moderating the event. Featured speakers included Pam Witmer, policy manager of the Illinois Network of Charter Schools, and Dan Montgomery (MS93), president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers and a high school English teacher. The event was well attended by Northwestern undergraduate and graduate students interested in both education and the charter school debate.
We are happy to present a video of the event for all to see!
