School Choice and Cultural Diversity

As culturally-diverse students feel trapped in failing public schools and abandoned by the system, school choice offers a way out and a way up for students who have not succeeded in existing public schools.

Root Causes of Educational Challenges

Many of the intractable problems that plague culturally diverse students are deeply rooted in poverty, unemployment, crime, racism, and cultural differences that pervade the neighborhoods around them.

The Role of Educators and Community

Educators who work in our nation's schools represent the conscience of a society because they shape the conditions under which future generations learn about themselves and their relationships to others in the world.

Educators, families, and community members need to reinvigorate the language, social relations, and politics of schooling.

Addressing Key Issues and Future Trends

We need to address the issues of school culture, poverty, and violence. We need to look at new and future trends in education.

Our Goal and Call to Action

Our goal is to achieve results. Parents, teachers, and students must come together to make a difference. Ideas and people can change the course of history.
