Book Lecture at UC Berkeley: How Local Organizations Shape US Education
Briefly

The talk led by Jose Eos Trinidad examines how local organizations have formed an invisible infrastructure that impacts school districts and U.S. education. Focusing on dropout prediction systems in cities such as Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York City, it reveals how these organizations transform education data and student outcomes. The discussion challenges the notion of reforms as purely top-down or bottom-up, emphasizing an 'outside-in' approach through networks of engaged organizations. A panel featuring noted educators will follow, highlighting practical implementations of these insights.
