I’m grateful for @EdLoCnational for believing in @MaslowDevInc and our conviction that community ecosystems matter. Innovation has to occur outside of the traditional school “box” if we want to see lasting innovation in education.
#BoulderFund recipient @derwinsisnett of @MaslowDevInc shares more about the importance of working with community members as part of his work reimagining schools and revitalizing communities. #EdLoC2018.

Last week we visited several communities on the Florida Panhandle designed by @DPZCoDESIGN. We were truly inspired by the region, as its design has become a symbol for #NewUrbanism. We truly enjoyed seeing what it looks like for a #school to be so embedded in a #community!

Thanks @nhannahjones for elevating the conversation on the root causes of inequity in education. It takes a whole village, and schools are just 1 part. @TeachForAmerica @MaslowDevInc #SLOC2018
