Transforming Urban Schools: February's Whole Child Podcast

As more and more young people drop out or score poorly when tested, it is important to ensure that all urban schools are providing students with the education they deserve. On February 5, ASCD's Whole Child Podcast will focus on the crucial task of transforming urban schools.

We'll talk to urban education experts and activists New York University professor Pedro Noguera, National Urban Alliance for Effective Education Executive Director Yvette Jackson, and Monarch Academy principal Tatiana Epanchin. We'll hear firsthand about the challenges facing urban schools and how urban educators and students are working to defy the odds against them.
