Description

Clifford Janey talks about his work as an educator in Boston and the field of education in a segregated city during the era of bussing. He also talks about why he accepted the position of superintendent of the District of Columbia Public Schools and the challenges he knew he could manage based on his experiences in Boston and Rochester, NY. His approach is to focus on the individual student and to make changes holistically in improving the quality of education to prepare that student to be job-ready and college-ready, all the while being cognizant that there will be racism and classism that the student will be facing. He also addresses the criticism of the bureaucratic nature of the Washington, D.C. school system. NOTE: The show ends abruptly at 23:06 due to an issue with the guest on the set.
