Mission Statement
Our education systems are designed to bolster individual achievement and standardized content, treating learning as a form of competition. These educational norms leave little room for meaningful student interaction, expression, and voice.
Collect Education’s mission is to promote education practices which trade content memorization and individualism for collective real-world learning experiences. Collective Education aims to inspire, support, and connect educators in providing engaging environments where students can lead, collaborate, and create together.
We believe education shouldn’t tell students how the world is, but show students the possibilities of what it can be.
“Perhaps the most egregious thing we are taught is that we should just be really good at what’s already possible, to leave the impossible alone.”
How it Started
This project began as a thesis for a Masters in Fine Arts in Collaborative Design at the Pacific Northwest College of Arts in Portland, Oregon.
