Dennis Littky
Co-Director, The "MET" and Director
Principal Residency Network, The Big Picture Company
As a community organizer, education reformer and principal of three innovative schools, Dennis Littky has spent the last thirty years working tirelessly to radically change the education system. At the local and national levels, Littky has helped to launch a movement to educate "one student at a time." As co-director of The Big Picture Company, Littky is currently working to implement in cities across the country the successful design of The Met high school in Providence, Rhode Island, which he co-founded in 1996.
Littky's educational philosophy begins with asking "what is best for kids?" and designing small school environments that exemplify the answer. With personalized learning plans, true family engagement, authentic projects in real-world settings, and portfolio-based assessments, the Met has seen 98% of its graduates accepted to college. Littky is also committed to mentoring visionary school leaders and has expanded his internship-based Principal Residency Network to include aspiring and veteran principal teams in Rhode Island, Boston, New Hampshire and Vermont.
