Rudy Crew, chancellor of the New York City Schools and a nationally recognized leader in implementing urban education reforms, will be the featured speaker at the first in a three-part series of community discussions on statewide K-12 and UW partnerships.
The series will be presented to a joint meeting of the Board of Regents’ Strategic Planning and Academic and Student Affairs committees. It has been planned by Office of Educational Partnerships. Members of the campus community are encouraged to attend.
Crew will speak from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 19 in the Walker-Ames Room of Kane Hall.
He is the former superintendent of the Tacoma Public School District. In his current role as chancellor he oversees a diverse urban district that enrolls more than 1 million students.
Crew is a leading proponent of performance-driven public education, which focuses the school system on increasing the academic development of all students through an emphasis on literacy, school-based responsibility and parental involvement. An overall goal of this system is to build a growing base of public school graduates whose skills and knowledge continually strengthen their communities.
