This issue opens with a piece that David Price wrote in 2023 about school improvement and continues with stories about schools and non-profits taking relationships seriously, professional development where teachers can actually try out their ideas, school lunches, music festival projects of course, fiction-writing during lockdown in India, the cardboard arcade in Minnesota, and the virtual-reality geology.
