The appetite for systems change in public education is undeniably strong from all angles of society. “Too Essential To Fail: Why Our Big Bet on Public Education Needs a Bold National Response,” a new paper by Karen J. Pittman and Merita Irby of KP Catalysts - Knowledge to Power Catalysts, unpacks the evidence of this growing demand, and amasses foundational Positive Youth Development research that undergirds the power and possibility of a community-based, learner-centered path forward. https://lnkd.in/eg85Kk-f

The education needs of today are vastly different than the education needs of the past. But our education system still clings to traditional models that don't effectively serve today's students. It's time for a fundamental shift in how we approach teaching, learning, and achievement. In fact, it may be past time. Dr. Rudy Crew, a nationally-acclaimed educator and advocate for education innovation, recently shared his thoughts on the dire need for innovation in education. Check it out below.

“Too Essential to Fail: Why Our Big Bet on Public Education Needs a Bold National Response” written by Karen J. Pittman and Merita Irby and commissioned by Education Reimagined is now available.  ➡ https://lnkd.in/gZKUd6wd As part of KP Catalysts - Knowledge to Power Catalysts' broader Centering Youth Thriving efforts, “Too Essential to Fail” serves as a reminder that increasing youth thriving is possible, but to get there, we must move away from high academic standards being synonymous with standardization. We know that isn’t how people learn. It’s encouraging to see innovation, organizations thinking differently about competency-based learning, and more. Yet as long as these bright spots exist only in pockets, they will further exacerbate rather than combat inequity. “Too Essential to Fail” brings together a preponderance of evidence from disparate sources that combined gives us the confidence we need to create  “a new education architecture that leverages the full complement of community resources needed to empower and support learners for life, work, and civic engagement.” #TooEssentialToFail ➡ https://lnkd.in/gZKUd6wd

The global education crisis demands urgent action. With 84 million children projected to remain out of school by 2030 and many unable to read by age 10, we cannot stand idly by. Closing the financing and access gaps, supporting our Professors, and rethinking our education systems are crucial steps toward a solution. Every child, regardless of their background or location, deserves the chance to learn and grow. Investing in education is investing in our future. Let's not delay—change must start now to give every child the opportunity they deserve.

Our newly revised Indicators of Educational Equity builds on the strong foundation of the original tool while synthesizing our emerging understanding of what educational equity looks like in practice. Schools and districts can use this revised toolkit to determine if they are taking steps that will lead to an equitable system of education. Read or download now: https://lnkd.in/g_yncNk6
