What if now more than ever we need creative and collaborative problems solvers for the Common Good?

• now: because in the midst of a global pandemic, civil unrest, and economic inequality, we cannot wait for things to get better.

• more than ever: because COVID-19 has laid bare the reality that “doing school” won’t help students to grapple with these tectonic forces.

If you plant creative and collaborative problem solving for the Common Good, you’ll get social entrepreneurs.

If you plant SATs, APs, multiple choice quizzes, blue book exams, and all of the other standardized approaches to assessment, you’ll get weeds.

What kind of garden are you cultivating?
