Testimonials
“Hearing success stories from the trenches showed be real failures and their successful rebounds in action. Success is built on the courage to fail.”
“I am extremely impressed by ISKME, as it seems to have started ta fill in the underlying question of what to do next. I’m feeling the urge to move forward past all of the problems and hopefully move toward
some sort of solution.”

"As a result of attending Big Ideas Fest, I changed the way I teach. I used to start class by writing "Today's Goals" on the board but after hearing Dr. Mitra speak and then talking with him at dinner, I decided to start class with "Today's Question". This is helping me to think more closely about what I want my students to get smarter about and helps me build skills in the art of asking questions."
