In this episode, Erin Swanson sits down (virtually) with Donnell and Jenny. Swanson is the director of innovation for Edgecombe County Public Schools. You’ll hear her discuss why the dominant way of doing school isn’t working for kids and how we can reimagine the way we do school. Swanson’s dream is to help create schools where all kids can thrive. Tune in to hear how she, along with Donnell and Jenny, are piloting this vision in their own county. Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
