While education is discussed and debated at great length on the national stage, so many of the most valuable insights are being shared at the local level, by individual champions who are driving the conversation forward. So how are they doing this?

As a special treat for our final webinar of 2018, Forum One’s CEO, Chris Wolz, will be talking with Education Post’s Acting Executive Director, Gordon Wright. As a “blog-first” organization, Education Post contributes to the education movement through a strong community of local and national bloggers who are champions for school equity, and are dedicated to building the public narrative in favor of school reform.

Over the course of our conversation, we’ll hear from Gordon about how Education Post has supported bloggers from local communities around the country to build a collective voice over the last four years, how it manages and nurtures this group of 20+ local and regional bloggers, and how measuring success plays such an important role in being able to grow from strength to strength.
