  • About Us
It’s easy to feel like education is out of our hands. We try to help our own children “get through” the system. We do our best to encourage learning in our own classrooms or we try to integrate new
policies within our schools or boards. But somehow the big picture and major decisions are someone else’s responsibility.

They’re not. Because what happens to our children affects us all. Education is fundamental in building healthy communities, thriving economies and strong societies. It is our best hope for addressing the challenges that are facing our world today and it is something we need to be doing better if we are going to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

We all have the power to make change happen for our children and our students and we all have the power to lobby decision makers to face the kinds of systemic change needed to turn education around. We must raise the volume on the conversation about education and change the popular
channel from short-sighted, back-to-basics reform to discussions about informed and effective change.

Start talking. Start contributing. Help build our communal knowledge base. Get inspired by what others are doing. Share your own innovations. Make connections and join forces. Help build the momentum needed for change.
The best predictor of math scores and science scores, for example, is the social capital in that community - even better [an indicator] than the class size.
Robert Putnam, Writer and Professor, Harvard University (2000)
