Wednesday, May 28th

Today we gave a presentation at the Rotary Club in Raleigh to highlight the work Shifting the Education Paradigm has completed in the last three years. We also had a Skype call with Jose Vilson, an eighth-grade math teacher in the Inwood/Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City. We discussed the importance of teachers being “lead learners” in their classrooms and the impact of resource disparity on education.
Check out his book: This is Not a Test: A New Narrative on Race, Class, and Education (available on Amazon).
