Education Nation Six Leading Edges of Innovation in Our Schools
My Dream: • Imagine an Education Nation, a learning society where the education of children and adults is the highest priority, on par with a strong economy, high employment, and national security.
My Dream: • A ladder of learning from pre-K through “gray” involving formal education and informal learning through technology, museums, libraries, churches, youth groups, and parks.

School Life = Real Life • “From the standpoint of the child, the great waste in the school comes from his inability to utilize the experiences he gets outside the school…within the school itself while, on the other hand, he is unable to apply in daily life what he is learning at school.”John Dewey, The School and Society lecture, University of Chicago, 1899
