After Cedar Rapids experienced a massive flood in 2008, the city had no choice but to rebuild. That's when two educators decided to #ReThinkHighSchool too.
That's how @IowaBIG came to be.

“If I would’ve continued in the trad’l system I would’ve been *fine* because it’s all I ever knew. Through @IowaBIG I’ve realized how drastically the ed system has to change. Everyone deserves to feel as valued as I have.” Megan @EdRevision #ReThinkHighSchool #inacol18

“I always just hovered in the middle in trad’l school. @IowaBIG changed my whole perspective. I’m more than a grade on paper. I’m smart enough. I’m good enough. And I matter. I’m doing more than I ever thought I was capable of.” Olivia @EdRevision #iNACOL18 #ReThinkHighSchool

“I was in a small comfortable HS as a sophomore. I wasn’t trying very hard. I was disengaged but I wanted more. At @IowaBIG everything has meaning to me. For the first time in my life I understand how my ed connects to my world.” Jack @EdRevision #inacol18 #ReThinkHighSchool

From the mouth of a young person: “If you’re designing for the average student, you’re designing for no one.” Boom. Right, @toddrose?! @EdReimagined #EdFunders18

I agree completely. Every child needs so called "soft skills." We do a disservice to our kids & our future workforce by not creating, developing, & preparing them with "soft" skills. For example, check out these student projects at @IowaBIG. Count # of skills (soft) they display
