Our world is warming up at an alarming rate. Child poverty is still a reality in spite of “promises” to end it.

How will you help our students to make their own mess?
How are you making your own mess?
What strategies take us away from the path to a society of mimics, and down the road to a society of masters, poised to solve our big problems?
