Founded during the COVID Pandemic by a collaborative of leading voices in K-12 education (see our columnists), we strive to meet the need for greater understanding by our educators and parents of the practices, philosophies, and outcomes driving schooling and learning.

With an emphasis on practice as well as strategy/policy, our place is uniquely at the intersection of journalism and professional development with diversity at the heart of both.
