Colorado — Conversations

A New Conversation

We partner with individuals, classrooms, schools, and organizations to foster new conversations and a new vision for schooling at the local and national levels.

Here we share the stories from students, educators, parents, leaders, and community members across the country. Each story is an expression of an individual's hopes, fears, joys, and aspirations. Each story is unique and powerful on its own. Together they are the collective dreams of a nation.

We hope you will enjoy browsing and sharing your thoughts. You can search for your state, or people you know by using the search bar. Intrigued, Inspired?! Sign up to be a Catalyst!

Amy, Director @ ReSchool Colorado, CO

"So, I'm going to talk about her I think. I think where the system is falling short for a kid like my daughter is it doesn't give kids the chance to push themselves outside the boundaries of school. Her current high school doesn't give them opportunities to go out into the field to learn. Doesn't encourage them to really do a lot concurrent enrollment. The system still wants to contain the experience for the learner in that school or that environment. And that is a real challenge, because our world is not contained like that. And it used to be more contained, but it's not any more."

“This cut-throat mentality is put down into schools instead of creating relationships that they need to build good lives. You're not grooming your child to think of anyone but themselves.”
