What do students who live in poverty really need from their teachers?
09-10-2018
Here is an interview with Linda Cliatt-Wayman, who led one of the most dangerous high schools in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (United States). She argues that what students who live in poverty really need from their teachers is a lot of love and unimaginably high expectations. In one year, she turned around a high-danger Philadelphia school, getting it off that list for the first time in many years and significantly improving achievement. She now runs a nonprofit that helps the city’s poorest students make it through high school. This interview connects with her book Lead Fearlessly, Love Hard: Finding Your Purpose and Putting It to Work. Date Published: 9 September 2018
