Building Extraordinary Community-Based Schools with Jenee Henry Wood
Manage episode 467080509 series 2792761
Jenee Henry Wood, Chief Learning Officer at Transcend and co-author of the book Extraordinary Learning for All: How Communities Design Schools Where Everybody Thrives, joins host Mike Palmer in a conversation about community-based design and how to leap ahead past the industrial model of K12 education left over from the 20th century.
Jenee shares her journey into education, which began with a background in international economics and led her to Teach for America to become a teacher and advocate for students' voice and teacher/community empowerment. We discuss the limitations of the traditional "industrial" model of education and explore the concept of community-based design, where schools partner with students, parents, and the wider community to create learning experiences that are relevant, engaging, and empowering.
Key Takeaways:
- The current design of school is a 100-year-old model that needs to be redesigned to meet the needs of today's learners.
- Learning experiences should be relevant, engaging, and customized to each student's needs.
- Community-based design brings together students, parents, educators, and community members to create a shared vision for education.
- Schools should be learning engines that constantly evolve to meet the changing needs of students and society.
