Education is the civil rights issue of the times.

We cannot talk about education without speaking about civil rights

When a student is brilliant on the street corner

but falling asleep in class, something is wrong with the schooling system.

Equitable resources is not equity What is the pedagogy needed

for equity ?

There is a new economics of college in America

The federal Pell Grant is supposed to make college affordable

But it doesn’t

Financial aid misunderstands today’s families. Many can’t pay what is “expected”

And many students support their families while in college.

24% of students were food-insecure 16% had trouble paying rent on time

An estimated 13% of community college students are homeless

Coding for What?

#3

Remove obstacles and cultural biases that devalue and limit opportunities

for girls and women

Earning power of those having these skills

We need to see coding as a place to begin, not an end in itself

We want students to be critically aware consumers and producers of media.
