Program Overview
Simply

a call to the highest point

effective strategies to change
policy at the local, state
and federal levels that reflects
authentic learning experiences

draw forth greatness and
help students hone and craft
their respective gifts and
talents for the good of the

Program
Goals
(1) To serve as the
market place where funds of
knowledge are exchanged for
ideas, concepts and are translated
into curriculum and research
policy.
(2) To
ensure that all students
have access to a “complete
education,” one
that enables them to fully
operate in their gifts and
talents.

honor, respect
and appreciate teachers,
administrators and school
communities who reflect
the
core principles of The
Exchange.
Core
Principles
The Core Principles
of the program are founded
on the work of Paulo Frèrie,
