Revolutionizing Education: Education’s Role in Democracy - Ted Dintersmith | Season 1 Episode 1

"Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education."

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Though Ted Dintersmith made his fortune in venture capitalism, he’s made his greatest impact on education.

His books Most Likely to Succeed and What School Could Be and his film Most Likely to Succeed are gaining momentum and challenging policymakers, educators, and community members to reimagine the role of the school as it prepares our children for the future.

On July 9th, Ted gave his keynote at the National Network of State Teachers of the Year’s Teacher Leadership Conference titled, “Education’s Indispensable Role As the Foundation of Our Democracy” where Ted challenged educators to consider their role as the defenders of democracy in an environment where democracy is under fire.

This the first episode of a five-part series. You will hear from the speakers themselves who will help us dive deeper into their message.

Throughout this series, I will be joined by the 2018 Virginia State Teacher of the Year, Michelle Cottrell-Williams. Michelle is going to help me unpack the takeaways of these educational leaders who’s message will challenge us to go beyond the curriculum.
