MAVA Colleagues,
We are pleased to share this information concerning a conference this week at the Harvard University Kennedy School. It certainly is not common for CTE to be discussed at a Harvard conference, but it will be on Friday morning. The two-day conference, which is completed sold out, is entitled “Emerging School Models”.
Our good friend and colleague Jamie Gass, Pioneer Institute’s Director of the Center for School Reform, will be presenting at a breakout session entitled “What policies are needed for CTE to work?” He will speak on the Massachusetts model of Chapter 74 vocational technical & agricultural education. His PowerPoint and remarks will be replete with data to support the incredible success and demand for our unmatched method of providing high quality Career & Technical Education. We are most appreciative of his support and efforts on our behalf.

Emerging School Models
Maintaining the Momentum
September 12-13, 2024
New school models are reshaping the American educational landscape. Emerging charter school models, micro schools, career and technical programs, and different forms of homeschooling are expanding nationwide. But can these models build on the current momentum? What infrastructure is needed to make them sustainable over the long term?
To explore these questions, the Program on Education Policy and Harvard Governance at Harvard University will host a conference on emerging school models at Harvard Kennedy School, on Thursday, Sept. 12, and Friday, Sept. 13, 2024.
The conference will include a keynote address by Alberto M. Carvalho, Superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District.
September 13th 9:15 a.m.
