Mobilizing Students

As the first shot of students taking charge of their education and demanding high standards came on to the screen in this video, one of my co-workers sighed, “I wish we could do this is in Washington.”

And with the inspiration and help of individuals like Marqueece Harris-Dawson and the Community Coalition, maybe we can. Marqueece presented this video as part of a panel discussion with EdTrust’s Paul Ruiz at our Dec. 5 “Tackling the Tough Choices” conference. I’ll say one thing, by the end of the video, there were definitely more than a few misty eyes in the house.
