Now we need an academic powerhouse to take our proven model to the next level and become the authoritative voice of our learning revolution.

What You Won’t Be Doing
• Getting lost in isolated curriculum experiments that don't scale
• Producing theoretical research disconnected from measurable student success
• Avoiding direct accountability by creating layers of management buffer
• Making empty promises - our reputation is built on proven results, not rhetoric
