How should YOU be engaged in a meaningful way in the educational process? Students, educators, parents, family members, and community members all have plenty to contribute when it comes to educating our children. Host, Allison R. Brown, and guest host, Alexis J. Smith, welcome Dr. Natalie A. Hopkinson to the show. Dr. Hopkinson is a fellow with the Interactivity Foundation, which has partnered with Allison Brown Consulting (ABC) to bring democratic discussion to schools. We will explore with Dr. Hopkinson how schools can (1) invite parents, students, and community members in, (2) establish healthy boundaries to ensure that discussion among stakeholders remains effective, and (3) create meaningful partnerships between educators, students, and parents.
