Barbara Cervone, Ed.D., is founder and president of What Kids Can Do, Inc., an international nonprofit organization that promotes the value of young people tackling projects that combine powerful learning with public purpose. Previously, she coordinated Walter H. Annenberg’s $500 million “Challenge” to reform America’s schools—at the time the largest private initiative to reform public education in U.S. history—from its inception in January 1994 until June 2000.
Kathleen Cushman has documented the learning of adolescents in and out of school since 1989. A co-founder of What Kids Can Do, she gathered youth voices in WKCD’s books about school culture and climate (the Fires in the Bathroom series), student motivation and mastery (Fires in the Mind and The Motivation Equation), and college access (First in the Family). From 2011 to 2014 she documented the work of the Deeper Learning community of practice brought together by the Hewlett Foundation, and she contributes to the Learning Deeply blog for Education Week. Since 2014 she has consulted to the New Teacher Center’s initiative on social and emotional learning.
