If you could flip just one thing to help our schools and public education thrive, what would it be?
We know that the structure of schools and education were built nearly a century ago, based on a factory model - but the world is a profoundly transformed place. There are people and practices right now - across our nation - that are thinking about school in our transformed world. They are trying innovative and bold ideas that can potentially inspire others to be bold and innovative - even in a schooling system that may not always welcome change.
Co-hosted by LaShawn Bowser and Mike Chalupa, FLIP-ED seeks out and elevates those ideas that could make all the difference for our children, families, and schools. Join us to hear from educators with an idea, a vision, a revolutionary thought that could flip a switch and change schools for our changed world.
