he mission of Forest Of The Rain Productions is to expand awareness of educational, fair housing, academic research and the business of education issues relevant to all Americans by providing a pathway for scholars and practitioners who are seldom heard. We recognize a holistic approach regarding education will give way to a better understanding of the significance of learning; its challenges and most importantly, how it affects everyone. It is our position that an all-inclusive approach to address the educational complexities facing American educational systems can best be viewed through three lenses: education, fair housing and academic research. These areas and the scholars, practitioners, civic and community leaders within them can help to galvanize Americans around the intrinsic value of an educated society.
