August 11, 2011, 6:00pm

Summary:

Gen Next Members and guests in San Diego enjoyed a special evening with Public Education Reformer, Kevin Chavous. As Chairman of Democrats for Education Reform, Kevin has worked tirelessly with one ultimate goal- to improve the public education system for the children of the US.

Detail:

Here are the three key takeaways:

• When it comes to what type of education reform Kevin Chavous supports it is very simple. If it helps a child in any way he is for it, if it does not help a child he is against it.
• The most important thing a person can do for public education reform is to have the courage to talk about it, the courage to ask their elected officials about it, and the courage to demand results for our children.
• The US continues to fall behind on a global scale. One reason is our inability to tailor education to the individual child and their learning style. Our "one size fits all" model clearly does not work.
