Peeling Back the Clay…

This session aims to give insight into the sometimes stifling nature of the public school system, but also into the beauty that is often masked by the requirements of standards and dated curricula. It is often through the mandates of the undeviated common core structure that we lose the beauty of student voice. My job is to peel back the layers of public education that are caked up and hardened from the policy makers and curriculum creators who don’t get to experience the thrilling vibrations of the classroom.
