Welcome!

Welcome to the LEAP (Literacy Empowers All People) page!

We're committed to changing education so that children are encouraged to think for themselves and engage their world -- moving it ever so slowly toward social justice.  We'll be bringing news about teachers who are transforming their classrooms and children who are transforming their lives.  We'll discuss the new ideas, new books, new curricula that are stirring the education pot in the United States.  And we'll be looking for your input on how we can truly educate our children.  Looking forward to hearing from you!
