IDEA: Institute for Democratic EducationIDEA mobilizes action to advance meaningful learning and build a more just and sustainable democracy. It strengthens the capacity of young people, educators, and communities by building relationships, identifying powerful learning spaces, and sharing the highest quality resources. Instead of promoting a “one size fits all” approach to educational change, IDEA works to transform the U.S. educational system in ways that honor, rather than wash-away, the complexities of different communities.
IDEA surveys the educational landscape to showcase the highest quality resources and educational programs that support meaningful learning, community development, and efforts to create systemic change. We call this process “curation.” On an ongoing basis, we identify, evaluate, and present top quality resources to educators, youth, parents, education decision-makers, policy-makers, and the broad public. |
