What We Believe
“When young people experience a sense of ownership in learning, competency with
media and technology, and the freedom of self-expression, they thrive. They are
empowered to make informed choices, to advance democracy, and to invent the
future. If ever there was a time for us to harness the energy and fortify the
ideals of our youth, it is now . . .”
– ESTHER WOJCICKI, JLI FOUNDER

“Journalistic Learning is a game changer. It fundamentally shifts the focus and
purpose of learning from the teacher to the student, and builds and strengthens
fundamental life skills necessary for success and fulfillment. It is simply the
most conscious, values-based, holistic, and effective education program I have
seen to date.”

YALE CENTER
Overcoming Boredom
Marc Brackett, director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, told USA
Today, “Unless what [students] are learning is engaging and interesting, they’re
going to be bored — the boredom is related to the quality of instruction. It’s a
shame that much of our nation’s education system is not focused on helping kids
figure out their own goals, but rather [on] a standardized curriculum.” View

GALLUP
Increasing Student Engagement
“In its annual survey of 600,000 middle and high school students, Gallup has
found student engagement drops precipitously from fifth through 12th grades. If
our education system was working well, this finding would be the absolute
opposite; students should be more engaged in school over time, not less.” –
Brandon Busteed, Gallup
Discover Our Method
GALLUP
Strengths-Based Development
“Gallup has learned how important it is for all people–regardless of age–to have
the opportunity to do what they do best every day. Rather than trying to fix
weaknesses, the most successful people focus primarily on building on what
they’re naturally good at and turning their talents into strengths. This
fundamental insight about strengths-based development is derived from some of
the most comprehensive research Gallup has ever done. But instead of using a
strengths-based approach in education, we have created a system that approaches
everything through a deficit-based lens: what’s wrong with students, what they
don’t know, and how ineffective teachers are, for example. We even use phrases
like ‘education reform’ and ‘remedial classes’ to describe how we hope to fix
schools and students. Less than half of all students strongly agree they have an
opportunity to do what they do best every day at school, and this is one of the
key components of school engagement.” – Brandon Busteed, Gallup
YALE UNIVERSITY STUDY
Students are “Tired,” “Stressed,” and “Bored”
When a nationwide study asked 22,000 high school students to openly state “how
they currently feel about school,” eight of top 10 responses were negative. The
top three answers were “tired” (39%), “stressed” (29%), and “bored” (26%).
39
% of students are tired
29
% of students are stressed
26
% of students are bored
THE OPPORTUNITY
“School reform” is a talking point that rarely results in significant change. It
is easy to criticize our educational system and place blame. However, 50 million
US young people don’t have the luxury of waiting for policymakers to resolve
their debates and come to an agreement. They need actionable interventions —
now.
BRIDGING THE GAP
What if there was an immediate, practical, affordable, and standards-based way
to support teachers in engaging students, enhancing classroom experiences, and
bridging achievement gaps?
RAISING THE STANDARD
Journalistic Learning fulfills this promise. It is aligned with the widely
adopted (albeit often challenged) Common Core State Standards. Debates center on
implementation and assessment. However, most educators agree that having
standards benefits their students.
