Education Reform

In today’s online culture, it’s possible for students to access thousands of different topics in a matter of minutes. Yet our current education system is a throwback to the methods of schooling developed during the Industrial Revolution. And we don’t just mean technology-wise. In many cases, the techniques our teachers use to interact with and impart knowledge to our students are embarrassingly outdated.

It’s no mystery that our education system is in dire need of a face lift. The good news is that many, many people agree. Even better, a handful of organizations are rallying to incite such change. Here are two of our favorites:

The Coalition of Essential Schools, headquartered at Brown University, champions a variety of progressive philosophies and scholastic reforms.

The Association of Educators in Private Practice stays active in school system reforms, particularly charter issues.
