Why, why, why does our education system look so
similar to the way it did 50 years ago? Millions of
students were failing then, as they are now -- and
it’s because we’re clinging to a business model that
clearly doesn’t work. Education advocate Geoffrey
Canada dares the system to look at the data, think
about the customers and make systematic shifts in
order to help greater numbers of kids excel.

Geoffrey Canada has spent decades as head of
the Harlem Children’s Zone, which supports kids
from birth through college in order to break the
cycle of poverty.
