Action Collabs, small high-energy workshops that engage participants to focus on inventive ways to break down educational challenges and provide tools and exercises to brainstorm and develop viable solutions at school, state, and national levels. Read about the "Action Collabs", in which teams work together to actually design and prototype real-world innovations in education.
