<h2><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> We know our educational system is deeply broken. With an increasing number of students falling behind, the time</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">to</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">help education evolve and support our youth’s holistic well-being is here! But why are people attached to the obsolete school model, and what does the future of education look like?</span></span></h2> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Through my conversations with educational innovators, I’ve noticed similarities in our experiences. Listen in as I unpack educational reform barriers and offer some big ideas and future solutions for our schools. </span></p> <p><span style= "font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I’m also thrilled to announce our EdActive Collective Summit. Our collective is filled with educational innovators focused on transforming education to a more human-centered, student-driven, real-world learning environment designed with learners at the center of every decision.
