About the XQ and the XQ Expert Series Podcasts
The XQ Institute, under the dedication and leadership of Laurene Powell Jobs and Russlyn Ali, seeks to use our collective knowledge, rigor and creativity to create a new model for school itself. Through parallel efforts of a design challenge and a national movement, XQ will support schools to turn their ideas into Super Schools.
