Power, Trust, & Community in NYC Schools

Description:

NYC's Community Schools are pioneering a transformative approach to education by blurring the lines between district leadership and the community, sharing leadership to strengthen education. This session explores the critical roles of race, class, and power, emphasizing trust and collaboration to strengthen schools and why it’s important, especially in times of crisis, to deepen relationships rather than retreating to silos. Attendees will delve into NYC’s “inside-outside” strategy for building community, improving quality, and ensuring sustainability.
