About Us: "The George Lucas Educational Foundation (GLEF) is a nonprofit operating foundation that documents and disseminates models of the most innovative practices in our nation's K-12 schools. We serve this mission through the creation of media -- from films, books, and newsletters, to CD-ROMs and DVDs. Our Web site contains all of our multimedia content published since 1997.
What is 'Edutopia'?
The word conjures up an ideal educational landscape, where students are motivated to learn and teachers are energized by the excitement of teaching. In these schools, parents and other professionals from the community -- architects, artists, physicians, and writers, among others -- contribute their expertise and resources. Technology is readily available and enables students, teachers, and administrators to seek knowledge and expertise beyond the school building. 'Edutopia' is a vision of powerful teaching and learning -- and the good news is that the vision is being realized today in our nation's best schools.
