Short bio or reason for joining Actionable Innovations Global:
After 15+ years in education, I have decided to leave my job at the New Teacher Center to pursue a very big project involving people from every country. We are looking for recruits talented individuals from around the world to help us develop and implement our strategies. Having come from the world of education - I know how valuable student and teacher voices can be, and would love to have people who care about education be a part of this effort.
Global education projects or initiatives in which you are involved (if applicable):
A BIG PROJECT: From Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street to uprisings in Zimbabwe, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, the U.K. and across the world, there are now millions of people who agree things cannot stay the way they are. Our project will build on the momentum for change by bringing friends and family together from every country to explore the answers to four questions: If the world as it currently exists were to radically shift tomorrow, and we had an opportunity to recreate the world… • What would you want to keep from this world? • What would you want to leave behind? • What could people do differently now to help us get to that world? • What is one thing that you would be willing to do differently to help get us to that world? We will then call on artists around the world to help translate the common themes that emerge from the conversations into songs, pictures and other mediums of creative expression. Then, on December 20, 2012 (the day before the Mayan Calendar predicts a global shift in thinking) we will set off an international explosion of art and music in an effort to bring a new sense of hope and possibility for global progress.
