Emily Tang, University of California San Diego; "How Charter Schools Organize for Instruction," by Betheny Gross, Center on Reinventing Public Education; and "New Options for Serving Special-Needs Students," by Joanne Jacobs. Edited by Robin Lake, this year's report focuses on how public charter schools are more different than alike.
