Educational Foundation:
An Overview
Running Time: 4 min.

• A place where kids and parents, teachers and administrators, policy makers and the people they serve, all are empowered to change education for the better.
• A place where schools have access to the same invaluable technology as businesses and universities -- where innovation is the rule, not the exception.
• A place where children become lifelong learners and develop the technical, cultural, and interpersonal skills to succeed in the twenty-first century.
• A place of inspiration, aspiration, and an urgent belief that improving education improves the world we live in.

We call this place Edutopia. And we provide not just the vision for this new world of learning but also the resources to help make it a reality.

Edutopia is the tangible embodiment of our vision. Through Edutopia.org, Edutopia magazine, and Edutopia video, we spread the word about ideal, interactive learning environments and enable others to adapt these successes locally. Edutopia.org contains a deep archive of continually updated best practices, from classroom tips to recommendations for districtwide change. We're allied with a dedicated audience that actively contributes success stories from the field, and our mission relies on input and participation from schools and communities.

Sound like something you can get behind? We hope so, and we hope you'll join our movement by signing up to receive information and our weekly e-newsletter, keeping you up-to-date on how we're making sure every child in America has access to a real, inspiring twenty-first-century education.

The George Lucas Educational Foundation is a nonprofit operating foundation and is not a grant-making organization.
