Leaders with a unique and powerful viewpoint on education data, policy and practice will sit down for one-on-one conversations with Kate Greer of Magnolia Bay Group. In this series, there will be no static PowerPoint presentations only real talk in real time. Together, we’ll learn how well-conceived research can become targeted action. Action that shapes Texas policy and practice and positively impacts a student’s lifetime of achievement.

Our moderator, Kate Greer, a strategic communications consultant brings a background in journalism, a proven track record in advocacy, and a big heart for LONESTARP3. We can’t think of a better person to guide lively discussions about the essential questions.
