Liberating Genius is not an inspirational or utopian hope for our students; nor is it a quick-fix program to building a better system. It’s a movement designed to help leaders and learners break free from the addiction of security and acceptance of mediocrity and rekindle the genius within. We can no longer afford as individuals or as a nation to allow our best talents to remain buried beneath well-intentioned but lifeless rules of school. Liberating Genius is a framework and system that fuels innovation, creativity and ability to impact our learning and the world. There is genius within; together let's unleash it.

54. “Genius is born of the desire for adventure that
never leaves you…the ever-present wanderlust
that beckons you from your tidy, predictable
days…the insatiable curiosity that forever hopes
—forever longs—for life to be bigger and more
vibrant and more meaningful than the one you
currently live.”
