Education has reached a tipping point: we cannot use outdated practices and expect students to thrive. Education Rx was born out of a desire to support change in the public education system. Education should be engaging, have real world value, and be equitable for ALL students; no matter race, socio-economic status, or ability level. And, it should be FREE! We don't have all the answers, but we are searching out experts and real people that hold a piece of the puzzle, and we will be giving them a chance to share their perspective on what is broken. Then we will follow it up with what is WORKING! We want to help start conversations that will help us move towards educational reform that will move our nation's public education system forward. The students of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Education should be one of the MOST important institutions in our country! We can do better. Join us. Start conversations. WE CAN DO BETTER!
