I have been working in education for over 30 years. Graduated from Harvard. Worked there. Then at Brown University, after working in the Seattle Public Schools. And now at Northeastern University.

I am lucky. I have worked in over 500 schools in over 100 districts, eight state departments of education, and with over 1,000 teachers. I have been around the block. In my quest to inspire others to reimagine teaching, learning, and schooling, I have come to know hundreds of educators doing just that – my fellow revolutionaries as I like to call them.

This experience has afforded me the opportunity to see the possibilities as well as the roadblocks in us pursuing education that could far better serve our youth not only for them but for our communities and the world.

Now having worked in our public school ecosystem for so long, and having had the privilege of seeing what can be, I have decided to spend my energy assisting and supporting others in how they can pursue an education in education.

I do this through sharing possibilities with others. And I do this by connecting those who wish to pursue such possibilities with those in the trenches doing the work.

To do this, I have visited many learning communities, worked with hundreds of educators, and have become good friends with dozens of fellow revolutionaries.

I call this a revolution because I believe that we are indeed in need of a revolution and not just improvement – or an evolution. We need to rethink our public school system operates, and find ways to incentivize the creation and proliferation of teaching, learning, and schooling that could far better serve our youth, communities, and the world. And I hope to do this by sharing the possibilities, giving voice to others, and pressing for a new design.

As I and my fellow revolutionaries like to say: Viva la revolución
