“Young people deserve an education that meets their needs as lifelong learners and critical thinkers. Schools should be places where students can cultivate curiosity, explore their world, and get excited about learning for the sake of learning. And that is much more more likely to happen when we are attentive to the diversity of student interests, passions and strengths.”
