In this episode of the Learning Can’t Wait podcast, our host Hayley Spira-Bauer sits down with Emmanuel George, New York Regional Superintendent at Democracy Prep Public Schools. At the top of the episode, Emmanuel thanks his mother and other family members who helped form his values of humility, respect, and civic-mindedness. Democracy Prep has a large focus on direct participation in civics education from an early age. Students engage in activities that teach them to actively engage with and influence the political system. Partnerships with families and community organizations are also crucial, as these collaborations provide additional support and resources, addressing systemic challenges faced by many students.
When talking about finding great educators for Democracy Prep, Emmanuel emphasizes that a teacher's willingness to improve is more critical than their initial skill level. Additionally, the school focuses on whole child development, offering a well-rounded education that includes arts, athletics, and academic rigor. This comprehensive approach ensures students are academically prepared and equipped with the skills and experiences needed to succeed in life and contribute positively to their communities.
