MAVA Colleagues,
This morning, I had the pleasure to watch the panel session from Harvard’s Emerging School Models entitled “What policies are needed for CTE to work?”
The panel included Shaun Dougherty (Boston College), Mikko Silliman (Aalto University, Finland), & Jamie Gass (Pioneer Institute).
It was very well done, and Jamie Gass was outstanding in his presentation and in responding to questions. Chapter 74 vocational technical & agricultural education was in the “spotlight” and clearly distinctive and more successful than and other model in the nation.
Cannot thank Jamie Gass enough for his efforts having spent innumerable hours in preparation. A shout out as well to Fred Savoie for his assistance with data and historical perspective and the team at Pioneer Institute.
The sun was shining on both Cambridge this morning and Massachusetts Chapter 74 vocational technical & agricultural education!

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.
