Boiling it down.
In short, Echelon Pathways Foundation is on a journey to bring a NEW platform for ALL of American education. This platform will support REMOTE and IN-PERSON learning. SIMPLICITY for learners, parents, and teachers will empower generations of excellence. Increased EFFECTIVENESS will provide opportunities learners to explore more in-depth knowledge. Unmatched FLEXIBILITY will provide families with cultural respect without the need to conflict with others.
The US educational system served us well for a long time, but now struggles under the weight of todays dramatically more complex society. The 24-hour news cycle, social media, and the inter-connected nature of the modern world have destroyed the idea that geography drives common ways of thinking. This complexity becomes the basis for curriculum conflicts that always yield about 50% of the learners losing, regardless of who wins
. EPF is dedicated to taking conflict off the table by rethinking the problem step-by-step; to empower every family with choices for the future success of their learners; and to maintain focus on WIN/WIN.
Yes, we know this is BIG!
This effort is not for the faint of heart. We will be tackling complex challenges AND A LOT OF THEM. Any 1 company may focus on a single area from our Challenges page as their ENTIRE mission. Unfortunately, that method is also not sustainable as it promotes continuing a huge field of systems that weigh down the process. Our platform concept is a CLEAN-SLATE approach to completely rethink the needs of education.
While this may sound like it’s unnecessary, unfortunately it is. Often, Math is handled on a separate system from English, separate from Science, and so on. A single platform will provided EFFICIENCY by removing manual overhead of navigating different systems. IF we are to empower generations of AMERICAN EXCELLENCE, changing technology from an obstacle to an accelerator is critical.
