Teacher Talk, April 1st, 2014: Columbus Arts and Local Teachers

On our last program, we learned about City Year which strives to change attitudes and help those students who may be at-risk for dropping out of school. We're going to continue the conversation as we look specifically at the City Year program at Linden McKinley STEM Academy and talk with a corps member and a student. 

The slogan for City Year is - Give a Year, Change the World. That's a pretty ambitious goal and Executive Director of City Year, Todd Tuney, will explain how they intend to achieve it - right here in the Columbus City School. 

Host Sue Misiak speaks with the Program Director of Mosaic, Steve Shapiro and two of his students. We discuss Mosaic, a unique program which provides a humanities-based education experience beyond the classes at their home school. It is sponsored by the Education Council. 

Host Sue Misiak talks to John Farley, CEO of the Educational Council. In this interview we'll learn about the Council's efforts to prepare all students in Franklin County for success in college, careers and life through interdistrict programs and services.
