Enduring Ideas Awards honor those leading the future of learning and are decided by those most impacted by inequities of education's past and present.

WHY
Enduring Ideas
:

Folks leading the future of learning need no-strings-attached funding to keep innovating. They need people to trust them, to believe in their work, and to amplify their unique perspective to help others imagine radically different futures.

And the way in which awards are decided, especially those attached to funding like Enduring Ideas, needs to change. Enduring Ideas ensures those most impacted by education's inequities, namely young people (over 50% of each decision-making body) and people of color (over 80% of each decision-making body) truly have the power to decide who receives those awards.

WHAT:

Enduring Ideas Awards are two things simultaneously: 
1. An award for future-of-learning leaders
2. An accelerator for those who want to hone their craft in co-created decision-making in education

FOR WHOM:

Ed Innovators should nominate themselves and others for the Enduring Ideas Awards.

Those interested in deepening their practice in co-creation should apply to be a decision-maker in the next cycle.

Together

Participants review applications against criteria set by an intergenerational group of former decision-makers.

Participants build community with a small group of people who they will make decisions with, learning about co-creation, youth-adult partnership, and the future of learning along the way.
