Mission
To transform the learning process with technology-infused projects that benefit the community and promote high academic achievement.

STW Edutopia's Schools That Work series profiles K-12 schools, districts, and programs that are dramatically improving the way students learn. Focusing on evidenced-based successes, we create how-to videos and actionable tip lists to help you transform your schools. We get close to the teachers, students, principals, and other administrators who have changed the future of their schools, and show you how they did it.

These educators also share their resources -- rubrics, lesson plans, assessments, and training tools that will help you build your own successes.

And one more thing: we connect you with teachers and administrators from around the country who are collaborating to make similar improvements in education.
