Education Management - Portland, Oregon, United States
The mission of Dream School Commons is to collect in one place the most innovative ideas related to education, to design new schools that embody these philosophies, and to find sponsorship in order to provide low cost or no cost dream schools to populations in need.This community-based effort is open to all stakeholders, including but not limited to students, educators, administrators, parents, employers and concerned individuals. In other words, if you have come to the realization that a system which evolved from the agricultural age through the industrial age is failing to serve the needs of modern society, you are invited to join the Dream School revolution. One definition of revolution is "A dramatic and wide-reaching change in the way something works or is organized." Revolutions generally have a trigger, a spark that sets the the stage for a popular uprising against the status quo and in favor of dramatic and wide reaching change. Discontent and a grass roots desire for something better are at the heart of every revolution.At Dream School Commons we believe that most stakeholders are not content with the present educational system. They understand the critical importance of education to the success of a society, that value goes far beyond mere dollars. An individual's long term quality of life, good or bad, is often linked to the quality of their education.
