In this session from the Stanford 2005 Net Impact Conference, organized by Stanford Graduate School of Business, Hunter Pierson, executive director of Teach for America, introduces a panel of entrepreneurs in education who work with the market to lead their organizations to success. Panelists explore the challenges and opportunities of applying business practices and strategies to urban education reform, discussing how business people are helping enhance education for students in need. They consider innovation in areas such as teaching, administration, recruitment, and organizational design. The discussion is particularly timely in light of the No Child Left Behind legislation.
