Among many influential projects conducted under the auspices of EdLabs, Fryer has developed and implemented programs to test the impact of incentives on student achievement, teacher pay - for - performance concepts, and an effort to apply charter -

turnaround plan known as Apollo 20, which aims to apply the qualities of high - performing charter
schools to underperforming public
schools.

turnaround plans.
