AN INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION WITH DR GWENDOLYN J COOKE, AUTHOR

Show Overview:

An interview with DR. GWENDOLYN J COOKE

Dr. Gwendolyn J Cooke will be discussing her new book, "A Ninety-Day Empowerment Journal for Young Women".

NCEBC wants to welcome the full village to question, understand, and ask questions, about governance, educational policy, finances,  resources, and  the basic democratic principles of equity, fairness, and justice. It is important (if not, vital) that we have this conversation to continue to dispel the myth that black children are incapable of achieving high test scores,  therefore public schools are incapable of providing quality education.

"We believe in accountability. We believe that data drives decision-making. We believe in research-based practices. These principles have been used for generations by high performing schools, principals and Superintendents; especially those working and succeeding in urban communities were poverty and race are the dominant elements. This conversation is about the politics, power, economics, and restructuring of a public school system into a charter school system."
