Live Tuesday: A Conversation with Melia Dicker of "Reschool Yourself"

Join me Tuesday, December 6th, for another live and interactive FutureofEducation.com webinar as Melia Dicker joins us for a conversation about education change--both personal and institutional. At age 28, Melia spent a year retracing her steps through her education from kindergarten through college in order to reboot her life and make a fresh start. She called the project Reschool Yourself and documented the experience on her blog (www.reschoolyourself.com). Melia spent four years as Co-Founder and Co-Director of Spark, a California nonprofit organization that matches youth with apprenticeships in their dream jobs. She is currently the Communications Director of IDEA, the Institute for Democratic Education in America, which collaborates with communities around the country to reclaim and reinvent education.
