Last year’s New Schools Venture Fund summit sparked a big debate within the education reform movement about the role of race (among other things). Later in 2016, Education Next published a series of short articles about the debate from a variety of perspectives.

This year’s summit starts on May 16.

In a post for Chalkbeat, Matt Barnum discusses four things to watch for at the summit this week:

Can right and left get along?

How do people talk about DeVos and Trump?

A “big bet” on ed tech — but where’s the evidence?

How is the charter school movement evolving?
