Words of Inspiration and Motivation
Parent engagement is so important. We know from research that children who are engaged with their parents do better in school. - Dr. Nketchy Ezeh
Engagement is about quality, not quantity. - Dr. Nketchy Ezeh
If you're not ready for kindergarten, you're not ready for life! - Dr. Nketchy Ezeh
Why, why, why does our education system look so similar to the way it did 50 years ago? Millions of students were failing then, as they are now -- and it's because we're clinging to a business model that clearly doesn't work. - Geoffrey Canada
I dare the system to look at the data, think about the customers and make systematic shifts in order to help greater numbers of kids excel. - Geoffrey Canada
The passion that I had when I started this work is just as great now as it ever was, maybe greater. I’ve seen the wonderful impact that using, what I call, an anti-bias approach has. Not just on the children, but on the teachers who have to kind of figure out who they are and understand themselves and uncover their own discomforts and misinformation. I see adults finding their voice as a result of doing this work. It’s like they reclaim and heal from things that happened in their childhood that maybe no one helped them work with when they were younger. So the passion to create a safer, more just world for all kids is there, and I suppose will be there until I die, maybe even after.
