This is the story of two learners: a young man from Alabama who was good at the “game of school,” yet felt empty and disengaged, and a young Iowan for whom school was a constant maddening struggle. At two ends of the “success” spectrum, neither were happy. Yet, through their unique journeys, each discovered a new path that changed everything: learner-centered education. Join these young leaders to hear how they found their voices, and united to change the future of education for all learners.
