  • Our schools should be producing kids who tinker, make, experiment, collaborate, question, and embrace failure as an opportunity to learn. Our schools must be staffed with passionate teachers who are not just prepared to foster creativity, perseverance, and empathy, but are responsible for ensuring kids develop these skills.
  • But we’re shortchanging kids if we aren’t relentless about measuring outcomes in these new models. Teachers are the linchpins here
