As part of my tutoring company I recently came into contact with another educator in the Bay Area. Motivated by our discussions, I started planning how I can solve some of the biggest issues in education. In the future, I see myself teaming up with other educators to provide our services in a more strategic way. Start by catering to wealthy families, and then take the income generated here to bring these services for free directly to low-income families. This would entail finding real estate that can be used to set up a formal facility that attracts those who can afford the services, and also a large mobile trailer home that can be set up as a classroom on wheels for those who cannot. A natural extension is establishing a similar system in cities across the US and creating free content that can be distributed in mass to those that need it most. I envision everything from pre-recorded college counseling sessions to educational self-help books. The Stanford curriculum aligns perfectly with these future plans. The success of this endeavor requires deep examination of the systems that should collaborate to exalt students, but oftentimes oppress them. The government which can pass laws to equalize distribution of resources. Businesses which can create more accessible technology for all students. Civil societies which yield significant influence over both of the former. Prioritizing my understanding of these is exactly how I'd select my required research methods, policy, and organization courses. Using this information and leveraging the relationships I create at the business, law, and engineering schools, I'd then tackle the key component of the program that drew me to apply—the field project. I yearn to discuss my ideas with others. I want to figure out what materials would best be suited for different communities, how my idea can be expanded throughout the country, what technology could be used to automate admin work which detracts from student focused time, and what are the next steps to actually bring this plan to life in a scalable, meaningful, and lasting way. The questions are endless but I'm thrilled at the opportunity to focus on delivering a plan that details concrete steps to carry out in the next couple years.
