Celebrating What Works in Education
212,130 views 1 year ago
For more than 30 years, the George Lucas Educational Foundation has shared what works in education. Through Edutopia, we’ve captured and created conversations about practices from amazing schools and passionate educators—here in the U.S. and all over the world. We’ve pinpointed research-backed strategies, supercharged conversations around edtech and AI, and highlighted real educators in real classrooms. You can find this expertise through articles written by practicing educators and our in-house editors, weekly and monthly newsletters, our vast collection of videos (subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date), and more. So, take a look and add to the conversation!
