This work is important
If we are going to change our world for the better, we need to rethink public education, and teachers must be the ones to do it. The system was designed for purposes that are drastically different than the desires of families, communities and educators today. A lot of the practices in our schools are not in the best interest of the future of our students and communities. Often, we allow these practices to continue, because it was done to us as students, or the bigger system demands it. We’re in this work to help teachers and education leaders see their role in the bigger education ecosystem, so we can change the system, for good.
Blog for Good
“I think if I had to put a finger on what I consider a good education, a good radical education, it wouldn’t be anything about methods or techniques. It would be loving people first.”
“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.”
