Next Wednesday, January 21, I’ll be speaking at a Chicago Schools Policy Luncheon at the Union League Club of Chicago. The web site of one of the sponsors describes the event as:
The third in a three-part series sponsored by Business and Professional People for the Public Interest and Catalyst Chicago, with the Consortium on Chicago School Research. The series title is “Is Great Teaching Enough: The impact of school-community connections on the achievement gap.” Paul Tough, author of “Whatever It Takes” on the Harlem Children’s Zone; Nancy Aardema, Logan Square Neighborhood Association; and Chris Brown, Local Initiatives Support Coalition, will talk about “What It Takes” to build community.
