Entertainment — Conversations

A New Conversation

We partner with individuals, classrooms, schools, and organizations to foster new conversations and a new vision for schooling at the local and national levels.

Here we share the stories from students, educators, parents, leaders, and community members across the country. Each story is an expression of an individual's hopes, fears, joys, and aspirations. Each story is unique and powerful on its own. Together they are the collective dreams of a nation.

We hope you will enjoy browsing and sharing your thoughts. You can search for your state, or people you know by using the search bar. Intrigued, Inspired?! Sign up to be a Catalyst!

"It’s almost like there’s a perfect standard we’re all measuring ourselves against and failing in different ways, which is why everyone in public school, at least everyone I remember, felt like somewhat of a misfit."

"Success looks different for everyone. For me, it’s about self-sufficiency, both emotionally and financially, as well as having confidence in yourself. Success is more of an emotional state than an end point. I also understand that Maisie may feel differently about success than I do—she will have her own definition and if that’s what brings her joy, then I support that."
