"The height of love is high expectations." For this year's Big Bang, we draw inspiration from students and alumni -- such as Sofia Ervin and Naseem Haamid -- who believe that education can excel as we emerge from the pandemic -- only through grace and high expectations. High expectations that students should hold for their schools and their educators. And high expectations that we should all hold ourselves to as a network of forward-thinking advocates for what we know are the best ways to learn: interest-based, student-centered, relationship-focused, and equity-driven.
