I have spent my professional life championing “powerful learning” by our nation’s adolescents. From 1994 to 2000, I directed that largest private donation in U.S. history to improve the nation’s public schools. In 2001, I co-founded the nonprofit What Kids Can Do, which documents the vision and power of youth worldwide, along with Next Generation Press, which celebrates youth as co-authors.

I have a B.A. and an Ed.D. from Harvard University.
