Even if I don't disagree, if you're need of help, I'm going to help you. For some of our kids who struggle with all the horrible things that people are going through like poverty, the hope is can we break that cycle somehow... can we break the cycle of feeling like you're just stuck in this."

In this episode, host Rafael Otto visits Grants Pass, Oregon, to talk with Shannon Bilbao and Susan Peck from Gilbert Creek Child Development Center. They discuss why inclusive classrooms are so valuable for healthy development for all children and share examples of what they see in their classrooms. They also discuss the growing needs among young children in the aftermath of COVID and two of the biggest obstacles to serving more children: appropriately trained staff and the physical space to serve children. A promising venture, however, with Highland Elementary aims to solve those two challenges with a new and growing partnership. Tune in and share!

Episode two of the series highlights Highland Elementary in the Inglewood Unified School District, which received state emergency funds. Since April 2018, the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE) has been involved with the district, and the enactment of AB 1840 in September 2018 brought significant changes. This law shifted the management of financially struggling districts from a state-centered approach to local control, involving new fiscal and academic responsibilities. As a result, Inglewood Unified is now led by Los Angeles County Superintendent Dr. Debra Duardo, County Administrator Dr. James Morris, and Chief Academic Officer Dr. Bernadette Lucas. The first part of the episode focuses on piloting the IAM program at Highland Elementary, under Principal Mr. Jones, with plans to consider its district-wide implementation. The upcoming second part will explore the role of teacher leadership, collaboration, and data-driven strategies in the success of the Intensive Assistance Model at Highland Elementary, emphasizing student-specific needs.

Some of us embark on a career path and we re set for life. But sometimes one career unexpectedly leads to another. Or prepares us for another in ways that we don t quite see at first. Take Dr. Meredith Warner. Dr warner is an orthopedist with a practice in Baton Rouge, Warner Orthopedics and Wellness, that she opened in 2013. Meredith s career dealing with bones and joints has led her to a second enterprise this one, entrepreneurial. Meredith has created a special shoe for people with plantar fasciitis.
