DFER supports candidates who endorse its educational reform platform, and is agnostic about party affiliation. DFER’s core issues emphasize test-based accountability for mayors, teachers, and school leaders, and the ability of parents to choose from a range of schools. These include:

1) Policies which stimulate the creation of new, accountable public schools and which simultaneously close down failing schools; 2) mechanisms that allow parents to select excellent schools for their children, and where education dollars follow each child to their school; 3) governance structures which hold leaders responsible, while giving them the tools to effectuate change and empowering mayors to lead urban school districts; 4) policies that allow school principals and their school communities to select their teams of educators, granting them flexibility while holding them accountable for student performance; and, 5) national standards and expectations for core subject areas, with flexibility for states and local districts to determine how best to meet them.
