SXSW EDU 2023
Re-imagining the Role of Schools in Communities
Description:
In an educators' meeting in Memphis, a BIPOC school leader says: “If a school isn’t actively engaged in the community, it’s just another building.” How can schools transform themselves from impassive buildings into vital, community spaces? How can school cultures and curricula reflect the needs of their constituents? In this live taping of "Changing Course," we’ll hear insights from visionary BIPOC teachers and school leaders who are radically re-imagining the role of schools within communities.
