Ep.95- Exploring Community Schools with Emily Grijalva!

Exploring Community Schools with Emily Grijalva! - AOTA Episode 95

Among the litany of education buzzwords that aren’t always understood is the increasingly popular term “community school.” When folks say that their site is a community school or that they’ve received funding to create a community school, what exactly do they mean? This week we’re joined by super-dope educator and advocate Emily Grijalva to unpack the meaning, purpose, and promise of community schools. Emily is an award-winning teacher who currently serves as the Community School Coordinator and sponsor of the GSA at Felicitas and Gonzalo Mendez High School in Los Angeles. She joins the show to help us explore the ins and outs of community schools. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a university removing all of its student teachers from a district that banned CRT and a new study exploring whether remote learning was a primary driver of decreasing test scores.
