The bravEd Center
A Lever for Telling the Truth About Our SchoolsÂ
Think of the bravEd Center as a powerful lever—one that, when enough of us pull together, can finally tell the real story of what’s happening in our schools.
This isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Our schools, democracy, and future depend on it.
Real trust starts with real understanding. And that begins with telling the truth about what schools actually do.
The problem isn’t what schools are doing. It’s that hardly anyone knows about it. Without that understanding, there can be no trust—and without trust, nothing else works.
The bravEd Center was created to change that. After years of building, refining, and testing, it now consists of four integrated parts designed to support educators, advocates, and leaders alike:
📦 The Advocacy/Narrative Toolbox (Coming Fall 2025)
A self-paced course and resource hub to help advocates speak up for schools in smarter, more strategic ways. Learn more.
🎓 The Symposium
An ongoing online community featuring timely topics, expert insights, and easy access to recordings. Learn more.
đź“° The bravEd Newsletter
A spotlight on the people, places, and ideas doing this work.
🎥 Mini-Conferences (2x/year)
Live virtual events that highlight emerging stories—and the ideas reshaping what’s possible.
Why It Matters
The bravEd Center gives you the tools, knowledge, and community to help rewrite the story of public education—based on what schools actually do and why it matters.
If you care about improving schools in a way that lasts, this is where the real work begins.

At bravEd, our mission is clear:
To move beyond harmful, compliance-based accountability systems and build ones that truly help schools and students thrive. That shift happens when more voices join the effort.
Your support matters. Your voice matters.
