SXSW EDU 2019
From Pedigree to Competency: College for All?
Description:
At South Bronx Community, we teach young people to design their futures. Our competency based approach focuses on developing the skills young people need for college, career & community. Does the dogma of college for all stifle student agency? Can we take a broader perspective and personalize what it means to graduate high school, prepare for our dynamic economy, the rapidly changing professional landscape & importantly, nurture the SEL skills needed to live a purposeful & fulfilling life?
