Missing voices in the classroom… Does not make good sense

DECEMBER 2022 PODCAST -- In this month’s podcast, JFYNetWorks Executive Director Gary Kaplan continues our conversation with Hubie Jones. A recent recipient of the Norman B. Leventhal Award from the organization A Better City, he continues to impact the civil and social landscape. This month, he shares his many ideas about how to ensure Boston is viewed as a world class city, including his thoughts about parent engagement in the Boston Public Schools.

PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS:

"The role of parent engagement in our schools is paramount, but their voices are missing in the process. That does not make good sense. [Timestamp: 11:07]

…and the importance of arts education

"The exclusion of arts in more recent years diminishes social integration. The ability to have an exchange of ideas with students, in an educational environment, covering topics that our students encounter on a day-to-day basis fosters student engagement, and civic joy and fosters respect for one another.
