Gates Foundation and Small High Schools Case Solution
This case covers the development of the Gates Foundation's multibillion dollar effort to force reform in the U.S. public education system since 1999, particularly the foundation's recent decision to invest greatly in the break up of present urban high schools and the development of new small high schools. It further analyzes the values of various execution problems and that strategy connected with that.
Tom Vander Ark, who manages the foundation's education initiative, prepares for a meeting with Bill Gates in which he'll review the track record of the foundation and propose targeting future investments on little high school reform. For circumstance and background, the case covers the modern small schools movement in America and the consolidation of districts and high schools in America since 2000.
This is just an excerpt. This case is about LEADERSHIP & MANAGING PEOPLE
