The Education Breakthrough Network

In addition to being a contributor to the Liberating Learning Blog, I have been working on an exciting new project, the Education Breakthrough Network.

We want our website to be a place where you can find people like yourself--people engaged in creating excellence in American education.

We are people of all political parties, all cultures and social backgrounds, all faiths, and all ethnicities. What binds us together is our belief in the

power of education.

Here is a brief video of an interview I did in which I talk about the Education Breakthrough Network. Take a look and please take a look at the website.

Can Parents Help Turn Schools Around?

I participated in an online debate for the National Journal. The subject: What role should parents play in school reform?

The first step toward increasing parental participation is to allow parents to choose the kind of school--be it virtual or bricks-and-mortar, charter or neighborhood--their children will attend. Read all of my response to the National Journal's education debate question.
