This episode features Dr. Cara Furman, Associate Professor of Literacy at the University of Maine at Farmington and member of the Graduate Faculty at University of Maine. Dr. Furman's scholarship focuses on integrating qualitative data and philosophy at the intersection of teacher development, descriptive inquiry, asset-based inclusive teaching, and progressive literacy practices. At the heart of her work is a form of in-depth, descriptive writing that fosters philosophically-informed teacher inquiry. Such descriptive inquiry allows teachers and educational leaders to care for their ethical selves and to develop practical wisdom.   In the book, Descriptive Inquiry in Teacher Practice: Cultivating Practical Wisdom to Create Democratic Schools, Dr. Furman and her co-author Cecelia Traugh offer an in-depth portrait of Descriptive Inquiry as it was integrated into four urban, public schools.  Readers gain insight into the power of this process to foster a more collaborative school culture, address the needs of students more substantively, and engage teachers in practice-embedded learning. Particularly noteworthy is the confidence with which teachers and school leaders were able to resist mandates that would be detrimental to students and to work with outside agencies to adapt mandates to the schools' mission.   In addition to publishing in an impressive range of journals, Dr. Furman co-hosts Thinking in the Midst, a podcast that brings philosophical thinking to bear on contemporary issues. She is currently working with Tomas Rocha, on her second book, Teachers and Philosophy: Essays From a Contact Zone. This edited collection will explore what it means to think and write from the contact zone that is philosophy and practice.

Clayvon Harris left a career of writing for television behind and returned to Philadelphia, where she planned to pursue a career in teaching. Easing in as a substitute, she was confronted by disruption and violence that undermined both the learning environment and her aspirations.

During her 90-plus assignments across 67 different schools, Harris came face-to-face with overwhelmed principals, burned-out teachers, and chaotic classrooms. “Burdened” is how she describes the district administration. “It's underfunded, under-resourced, and overpopulated,” says Harris. “They're fighting with one arm tied behind their back and no shoes.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support

In this bonus episode, Ivy and Dr. Tyrone Howard chat about the experiences of teaching in urban schools and the particular needs students, families, and educators face in urban schools.

In this classic episode from 2015, Chuck talks with Steven Shultis, a longtime friend of Strong Towns, about low-income urban neighborhoods and, in particular, urban schools. Shultis started the blog Rational Urbanism to chronicle his experiences and thoughts on living in a poor neighborhood of a poor city—Springfield, Massachusetts—not out of necessity but choice. Steve and his family made that choice because their neighborhood offers, in many ways, an excellent quality of life—walkability, community, great local businesses, a beautiful historic downtown virtually at their doorstep, a spacious Victorian home—at a price that puts it within reach of people who could never have that life in Boston or New York. And Springfield is the kind of place that is built to be functional and resilient—the quintessential strong town. If you’re poor there, it’s a relatively humane place to be poor. You don’t need the expense of a car, at least. For Shultis, a Spanish teacher working in nearby suburban Connecticut who could have lived elsewhere, choosing to live downtown in his hometown was a form of “arbitrage”—a way to live "beyond my means, within my means." And yet, making the choice to build a life in a poor neighborhood when you could live in a middle-class one often means withstanding a lot of questioning of your motives and rationality. In today's podcast, he offers his responses to this predictable refrain:  "You can't live in that part of town if you have a family, or are going to have one. What about the schools?!" Raising kids in Springfield instead of its wealthier suburbs, Shultis says, has been the best thing he could have done. And his daughters think so too. There are challenges in sending your kids to an urban school in a poor neighborhood... but they're not what you might think. Listen to hear Chuck Marohn and Steve Shultis talk about: Challenging the narrative of "bad schools" with both data and personal experience. Why test scores aren't a good indicator of school quality. Whether any of the usual metrics of school quality are good indicators. How going through the "bad" Springfield Public Schools didn't slow down Shultis's kids academically—but it did challenge them socially, in ways that may have made them more well-rounded and capable adults. Why urban areas, even ones with high poverty, are not dangerous places to grow up. It's actually, statistically, less dangerous to be a teenager in a city like Springfield than in suburbia. Hint: the reason comes down to the top two causes of death for teens: auto accidents and suicide. What Springfield did wrong in trying to stem the flight of wealthier residents to the suburbs. And what Springfield did right, and has going for it to this day. Hint: a lot more than you might think!

 Listen now as Lynette Guastaferro explains how she took on failing urban education and turned it around!   How can you truly transform an organization and what it is supposed to be achieving? That’s what I asked Lynette Guastaferro, Executive Director of Teaching Matters, in our recent podcast. Teaching Matters works with urban schools and their teachers to dramatically transform the education that children are receiving. What is so exciting? It is working. You know how important change is to us at SAMC and those we work with. Lynette inspired us to want to help others do better—because they really can. And so can you! The first step is to listen to this podcast. Enjoy. Focusing on urban teachers at high-poverty schools, Teaching Matters is a national non-profit organization that provides coaching and support services for schools that have a hard time attracting and retaining experienced educators. Its programs have been implemented in nearly half of NYC's public schools and are now being extended into other school systems nationwide. Its reading program—Early Reading Matters—is just in its 3rd year but is already showing tremendous results. Today, the 31 Teaching Matters partner schools, all high-poverty campuses, have seen a 50% increase in the number of students reading at grade level by the 2nd grade. Committed to the impact Teaching Matters has on children and the way in which its programs create success stories As you will learn, Lynette's skills lie in observing how people work and then finding ways to improve their skills and develop their talent so they can achieve their very best.  From her own career training, Lynette quickly learned what she liked and didn’t like. After graduating from Columbia University, she took a job at PricewaterhouseCoopers as a management consultant. In her first week, she was sent to Florida to conduct a capacity analysis of a homeless service delivery system and jumped on the opportunity to get involved in education and supporting people in poverty. She eventually left her consulting position and entered the world of teaching with gusto.  As an educator, Lynette saw the isolation of teachers, the lack of collaboration, the absence of mentoring, the infantilization of the profession. She wanted to change this and knew that if the system would invest in teachers, they would shine!  “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” To grow, you have to experience struggles. At SAMC we often say that if you want to change, have a crisis or create one. As Lynette puts it, "In education, kids need productive struggles to learn. The real learning comes from the challenges we face throughout our lives." Describing her own experiences, Lynette says, “My own life helped me deeply understand that when you’re in urban education, there’s a lot of pressure on teachers to perform. This is important, but we must also work on improving our children's educational experience.” High-poverty schools routinely encounter crisis after crisis, causing great educators to burn out quickly. This taught Lynette to rethink the ways our educational system supports teachers (or doesn't), leading her to focus on developing communities in schools where teachers feel a high responsibility for the kids. Some background on Lynette As Chief Executive Officer of Teaching Matters, Lynette has more than 20 years' experience in education. Under her leadership, Teaching Matters has quadrupled its reach and spearheaded the design of award-winning, scalable teacher development models designed to improve teaching in over 700 urban schools. She has been a classroom teacher, a school-network leader and a senior management consultant for PricewaterhouseCoopers. She holds an M.B.A. from Columbia University and a B.A. from Williams College.

A must hear

This podcast highlights the efforts of the Boston Parents Organizing Network and describes how they utilized their network to empower parents to make change in schools. Across the country, community organizers involved in the social movement for urban school reform are successfully making change in some of the most complex, beaurecratic, and poorly performing districts in the United States. Parents and students in urban school districts must begin to monopolize on the potential power that they possess when they network and collaborate- this podcast is the story of one such group that played a major role in turning around the Boston public school system from failing to first.

In this month's Whole Child Podcast, we hear from three experts about the struggles and strategies of urban school districts and how they are working to meet the needs of the whole child.
