Education has never been limited to the classroom - it is a powerful and dynamic social, cultural and political force. Education challenges assumptions of race, ethnicity, gender, class and sexual difference. It is an indispensable tool not only for shaping identities but also for enabling social justice and democratic life. In addition to K-12 teachers and administrators, professionals from fields such as media, not-for-profit organizations, foundations, museums and community organizations are continually educating employees, students, patrons and the public.
