Best Education Possible - Citizen’s Idea Initiative
Inspired by President Obama’s Transition Team Citizen Briefing Book
In
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
President
 
Obama's
 
call
 
for
 
ordinary
 
citizens
 
to
 
band
 
together
 
and
 
make
 
suggestions
 
and
 
offer
 
ideas,
 
Axis
 
Publishing
 
Company
 
and
 
new
 
author
 
Debra
 
E.
 
West
 
announced
 
their
 
launch
 
of 
 
the
 
Best 
 
Education
 
Possible
 
Citizen's
 
Idea
 
Initiative
 
on
 
http://www.BestEducationPossible.net.
 
Initiative
 
Parameters:
 
Through
 
the
 
first
 
three
 
quarters
 
of 
 
2010,
 
ending
 
August
 
31,
 
2010,
 
BestEducationPossible.net
 
will
 
seek
 
to
 
harness
 
the
 
collective
 
genius
 
of 
 
parents
 
and
 
educators
 
who
 
serve
 
in
 
the
 
trenches
 
of 
 
our
 
nation's
 
educational
 
system
 
utilizing
 
the
 
PTA
 
as
 
the
 
primary
 
communication
 
infrastructure.
 
The
 
Initiative
 
follows
 
the
 
lead
 
of 
 
the
 
President's
 
transition
 
team
 
and
 
their
 
"Citizen's
 
Briefing
 
Book"
 
launched
 
on
 
their
 
Change.gov
 
website,
 
but
 
closed
 
to
 
public
 
contribution
 
prior
 
to
 
the
 
Inauguration.
 
Like
 
the
 
“Citizen's
 
Briefing
 
Book,”
 
the
 
Best 
 
Education
 
Possible
 
Citizen's
 
Idea
 
Initiative
 
will
 
develop
 
a
 
white
 
paper
 
compiling
 
ideas
 
and
 
thoughts
 
in
 
a
 
Web
 
2.0
 
environment.
 
The
 
goal
 
is
 
to
 
have
 
mass
 
citizen
 
and
 
global
 
participation
 
in
 
the
 
generation
 
of 
 
ideas
 
for
 
improving
 
our
 
youth's
 
education
 
with
 
the
 
ultimate
 
work
 
product
 
being
 
delivered
 
to
 
President
 
Obama,
 
U.S.
 
Secretary
 
of 
 
Education
 
Arne
 
Duncan,
 
as
 
well
 
as,
 
all
 
fifty
 
Governor's
 
mansions.
 
A
 
grassroots
 
effort
 
to
 
build
 
participation
 
has
 
been
 
started
 
in
 
Huntsville,
 
Alabama
 
with
 
local
 
broadcast
 
partner
 
WEUP
 
103
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
vision
 
of 
 
its
 
owner
 
Hundley
 
Batts,
 
Sr.
 
Our
 
goal
 
is
 
to
 
participate
 
in
 
the
 
National
 
PTA’s
 
2010
 
annual
 
conference
 
to
 
gain
 
maximum
 
input
 
and
 
participation
 
in
 
the
 
white
 
paper’s
 
development.
 
The
 
Best 
 
Education
 
Possible
 
Citizen's
 
Idea
 
Initiative
 
seeks
 
to
 
connect
 
proactive
 
parents,
 
teachers
 
and
 
concerned
 
thinkers
 
around
 
the
 
globe?
 
The
 
Initiative
 
will
 
utilize
 
numerous
 
online
 
social
 
networks
 
to
 
distribute
 
its
 
meme,
 
"
Empowerment 
 
and 
 
Personal 
 
Responsibility 
 
through
 
Education
 
(EPRE)",
 
including,
 
facebook,
 
LinkedIn,
 
Plaxo,
 
MySpace,
 
and
 
BestEducationPossible.net.
 
About
 
the
 
Initiative
 
Mrs.
 
West
 
says,
 
"We
 
all
 
must
 
be
 
held
 
accountable
 
and
 
do
 
our
 
parts
 
to
 
succeed
 
in
 
this
 
global
 
economy.
 
Education
 
is
 
the
 
answer
 
for
 
our
 
future
 
leaders
 
and
 
it
 
must
 
become
 
a
 
priority
 
in
 
this
 
country
 
to
 
remain
 
a
 
global
 
leader
 
in
 
the
 
21st
 
century."
 
The
 
Initiative’s
 
Strategy
 
and
 
Methodology:
 
Utilizing
 
the
 
vast
 
blogosphere,
 
popular
 
social
 
networks
 
and
 
best
 
practices
 
garnered
 
from
 
the
 
DK
 
Web
 
2.0
 
Linked
‐
Project,
 
Debra
 
West
 
and
 
the
 
BestEducationPossible.net
 
social
 
network
 
will
 
seek
 
to
 
promote
 
positive
 
energy
 
and
 
cognitive
 
collaboration
 
centered
 
around
 
the
 
structured
 
concept
 
of 
 
"
Empowerment 
 
and 
 
Personal 
 
Responsibility 
 
through
 
Education
 
(EPRE)."
 
Drawing
 
on
 
the
 
undeniable
 
energy
 
that
 
is
 
presently
 
circling
 
the
 
globe,
 
along
 
with
 
the
 
contagious
 
prospects
 
of 
 
hope
 
and
 
change,
 
the
 
Best
 
Education
 
Possible
 
network
 
will
 
be
 
infiltrating
 
a
 
mind,
 
spirit,
 
email
 
box
 
or
 
web
 
page
 
near
 
you!
 
Pass
 
the
 
word,
 
 join
 
a
 
Best
 
Education
 
Possible
 
Forum
 
on
 
this
 
site
 
and
 
begin
 
to
 
contribute.
 
It
 
is
 
that
 
simple.
 
This
 
is
 
a
 
people
 
driven
 
grass
 
roots
 
initiative
 
for
 
educational
 
change.
