Fantastic. As a former elementary educator, I could not be more excited about bringing huge changes to how children are educated. I've long thought self-determination theory needs to be front and center for the motivation of both children and teachers. To me, that is the central piece. Bottom-up, and bring back a greater diversity of what is taught. Common core has benefits, but huge drawbacks as well, narrowing and strapping us to a small set of skills, with testing to measure what? All kinds of minds need all kinds of approaches and choice.

Great project!! I will keep it in mind for my two-month-old son.
