Transformational place-making and population-level change requires collaboration among all domains that affect children and youth from cradle to career–domains beyond the education system, such as health, housing, and out-of-school-time. 

Join HGSE Professor Paul Reville, founder of the EdRedesign Lab, and national leaders in education policy and place-based change as they explore what it takes to build and sustain cradle-to-career partnerships that expand opportunity in rural communities.

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, questions about democracy, belonging, and civic responsibility are taking on renewed urgency. What role should schools play in preparing young people to engage thoughtfully with the nation’s history, its pluralism, and its democratic ideals, especially amid polarization and deep disagreement?

This Askwith Education Forum convenes scholars and practitioners for a timely national conversation on civic education and dialogue across differences, exploring how schools can foster informed patriotism, democratic participation, and mutual understanding in a complex civic landscape.
