Justin Toops is a parent with kids in public schools. He's also a fantastic filmmaker and storyteller with Freethink. He looked into the oldest tradition in traditional education - standardized tests. Turns out . . . they aren't as relevant or useful as you might think. #TransformEducation #K12Learning #IndividualizedLearning #BackToSchool #BelieveInPeople

As our nation's 4,000,000ish teachers start another school year - nearly all will start the year thinking about their "why" and wanting to make this year their best yet. Domonique D., in the piece below, relies on creativity and the small moments. Seems about right . . . #BelieveInPeople #TransformEducation
