Pilot Schools and Innovation w/ Dr. Cynthia Gonzalez!! - AOTA Episode 87

All that talk about “reimagining school” seems like a distant memory to a lot of us, but many folks are hard at work implementing innovative school designs that better serve our most marginalized communities. As we ditch masks and charge ahead into a new normal, what might districts across the country do to actually cultivate, enable, and support innovative approaches to school design and operation? This week we’re joined by Dr. Cynthia Gonzalez, who is the new Director of Pilot School Support for the Los Angeles Unified School District, to learn about pilot schools and how they differ from the typical traditional models of school. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including school districts building housing for teachers and researchers slamming decades of data-driven instruction.
