The Big Picture Company was founded by educators Dennis
Littky and Elliot Washor,
both formerly of the renowned Thayer High School in New Hampshire
and the Annenberg
Institute for School Reform at Brown University. In 1995,
they began collaborating with Rhode Island policymakers to design
a student-centered high school, and created The Big Picture Company
as the launching pad for what has now become a national education
reform movement.
