Children deserve great childhoods. This is a story of those who believe the same. We explore how schools and communities work together to create transformative experiences with young people, work to bend the system, and chase the question: What will it take for every child in North Carolina to not only have a sound basic education, but to have catalytic experiences that drive them to step boldly into the futures they deserve and create a better world?
Two principals — Donnell Cannon and Jenny O’Meara, interview school designers, community organizers, learning engineers, and education activists to learn what we should be thinking about when it comes to reimagining the future and the steps we can take today to create better schools, better childhoods, and better people tomorrow.
