The National Network for Educational Renewal delivers leadership development and support to our growing membership of institutions of higher education, local education agencies, and communities. Our goal is to improve simultaneously the quality of P-12 education for thoughtful and informed participation in a democracy and the quality of preparation of educators for our schools.
The members of our network, called settings, include partnerships of university faculty in the arts, sciences and education, and public school educators. All are engaged as equal partners as we strive to pursue the Agenda for Education in a Democracy. The simultaneous renewal agenda, as outlined in Dr. John Goodlad's Teachers for Our Nation's Schools and in his Educational Renewal: Better Teachers, Better Schools, is based on the assumption that we will not have better schools without better teachers, but we will not have better teachers without better universities in which teachers can learn, practice and develop.
“Public schools are not merely for the public, but schools of publicness. They are the forges of our citizenship and the bedrock of our democracy.”
Dr. Benjamin Barber, political theorist and professor - University of Maryland.
