We explore ideas on how to better shape education for the future. 

    • How can we better question the underlying assumptions we have about our education system?
    • How can we make education more local?
    • How can we make it more flexible, allowing families to choose not only where, but when and how their children do school?
    • How can we make it more personal, better utilizing technology and teachers to help every student?

    Covid19 has allowed us an opportunity to question much of our current system, and will allow us an unprecendented opportunity to shape the future. We need to take advantage of it.

While we have many great educators and administrators working to improve what we have, many of the problems are the fault of the system itself and its foundations. It was built for a different time with different needs. We need to reimagine education, making it more local, flexible, and personal. We need to allow families the ability to choose more how they educate their kids, support our teachers, utilize technology, and personalize so each student can get the most out of what they learn.
