In the first episode of our five-part series, RAS co-director Curtis Valentine sits down with Emory Edwards of EdChoice. Emory Edwards is the Vice President of Outreach for EdChoice, which is a nonprofit that works to ensure families have the ability to choose the best education for them. In this episode, Curtis and Emory discuss the different ways choices can benefit the education system from solving the teacher shortage to reducing class size and increasing representation for everyone in the system. Curtis and Emory speak about what they hope to hear in this year’s panel, including the discussion of how culture influences education. To wrap it up, Curtis and Emory look to the future and what they would like schools and classrooms to look like.
