Thanks for the link. There would be two possible outcomes (among many) that the teacher-led school would experience.

1. Teachers may learn how hard it really is to run a school, particularly a charter school with more budgetary control than a traditional school.

2. The pedagogy and methods chosen by teachers might reveal more about what those teachers view as successful methods than any “study” by academics, that is what front line teachers think is the best among the options–at least at the outset. As results for students come in you would no doubt see general shifts, but the initial choices would be highly instructive.

I would love to see such a model set up somewhere, but with the difficulties of some of the state charter laws, it might be hard.
