TYOK 048: Parents Who Teach- Two Everyday Moms Who Stopped Their Kids’ School from Closing
Update: 2018-11-19
Description
Parents are powerful! In this week's episode, Arianne sits down in the Teach Your OWN Kid! classroom with two of them. Latoya Douglas and Dana Wade refused to sit idly by and allow test scores and hasty community/political leaders to decide the fate of their kids' school. Without prior training, these two mothers organized and mobilized what is today called the 'Parent Advocators'. This group was not only successful in keeping their kids' "failing" New Orleans charter school from closing, they also led the charge to improve its letter grade and the overall culture of the school.
