Institute for Democratic Education in America (IDEA) was started by a group of young educators who had a burning desire to fuel meaningful educational change based on democratic values and human rights. It supports youth, families, teachers, school leaders, and policymakers in learning that matters to them and their communities. IDEA offers organizational networks; practical, relevant, and innovative resources; and conversations about the stuff that baffles, frustrates, and elates us about education.
