Show Highlights Why don't education reforms go to scale? P-Tech creates a pathway from high school to college to career. Get past the politics in education. Education is the bottom line for profitability for all Americans. A formula that sets up conditions where ALL kids can soar. An educational resource that can end the economic and cultural divide. Students determine when they are college ready. Billion dollar college saving and workplace ready plan. Take down the silo between school to college for relevant learning.
“All of the assumptions about who can achieve go out the window if you provide students with the right opportunity.”
