History

[edit]

In 1995, the Oklahoma Networks for Excellence in Education (ONE) was formed, initially from six elementary schools from various settings, to create communities among Oklahoma schools for democratic education.[1] In 2001, O.N.E.’s Executive Director Mary John O’Hair drafted a proposal to bring together teachers, administrators, students, parents, and community members to improve on local and international teaching methods.[2]
