Peter Sherman and Rob Stein, two prominent Colorado educational leaders, will share their insights into the difficulties – and opportunities – of turning around school culture during this session.

Now in its third year, “What Matters and What Counts in Education” is a monthly lecture and discussion series that brings together academics, teachers, administrators and community members to explore pressing questions facing educators today. This year we highlight Colorado innovators who focus on the topic of school culture: How do we shape a school culture that not only inspires students to achieve, but also helps them develop skills as democratic citizens?
