On Friday, October 5th, the NEA Foundation will livestream Keeping the Promise of Public Education, a Ted Talks style story-telling symposium of educators, artists, STEM experimenters, philanthropists, parents, and students from across the country, who represent the many facets of our public education ecosystem.

Each of our 16 storytellers will offer his/her unique, creative, and personal reflections on the promise of public education. In what ways are we keeping that promise? In what ways do we still need to grow? The livestream begins at 2:30 p.m.

Our closing storytellers are sure to inspire and challenge: entrepreneur and founder of the KIND movement, Daniel Lubetzky, and acclaimed author and Ted Talk star, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

As someone deeply committed to lifting up the voices of educators, we hope you will share this thought provoking and stimulating event with your members.
