Jeb Bush: Join me and get inspired at #EIE19!


Complacency is the exact opposite of what turning reform into reality is all about.Those who are comfortable with education’s status quo, happy to stick with traditional approaches and content to ride the wave of mediocrity—well, they clearly do not understand the urgency of this work.

Today’s students need transformative change. They need schools that are academically accountable—and meaningful options when they’re not. They need skilled teachers with innovative approaches. And they need well-designed pathways into college and a great job, with 21st-century skills to succeed no matter where their dreams take them.

That’s where ExcelinEd’s National Summit on Education Reform comes in. More than a thousand leaders convene every year—now for the 12th time on November 20-21 in San Diego—to keep the fires of education reform burning brightly. We come together to learn, strategize, network and be inspired by why and how to make a difference in the lives of all children.

It’s no secret that I believe each and every child has a right to a quality education. 

Many of us have been working on this long enough to know what it takes to get there. In the past 20 years, Florida has seen what a former U.S. Secretary of Education recently called an “educational renaissance.” Yet it was not one piece of legislation, one policy or one set of ideas that achieved that result. It takes bold approaches, innovative thinking and sustained work by committed leaders to transform education so that all children can learn and succeed.

You’ve probably heard me say, “Reform is never finished; success never final.” 

We can—and must—take urgent action, and I invite you to be part of the movement. At the National Summit you will be among peers with that same focus, with the same drive to make a difference. I promise that you’ll leave empowered, connected and, most definitely, inspired to turn reform into reality.
