Having the Conversation, Part 3 — July 2, 2020
On this episode of Eye On The Valley presented by SCVi & iLEAD Schools, Matt Watson starts the show talking to Dr. Cherise Moore, Member of the Board of Trustees for the William S. Hart School District and Senior Researcher. Dr. Moore talks about her early career and schoolwork that lead her to where she is at today. Dr. Moore has worked with educators across the country, working to change the course of people’s lives through the power of education. Dr. Moore is extremely passionate about providing a high-quality education to everyone, and works tirelessly to fight for students’ rights to an education. Matt and Dr. Moore spend time talking about the Black Lives’ Matter protests that have resulted from the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Dr. Moore talks about how too many black people have died in the hands of police custody, and how this has caused us to continue to look inside ourselves and change our behaviors.
Later in the show, Matt and Dr. Moore talk about the commission the city has put in place with the cooperation of Santa Clarita Mayor, Cameron Smyth. Dr. Moore feels strongly about the commission they are working to establish because they are working to create something that lasts. Dr. Moore talks about the task forces that have been created in response to various events across the country and how those have all eventually dissolved with time. Dr. Moore hopes to establish a partnership with institutions across the city and create something for the future of the people in Santa Clarita. Dr. Moore speaks at length about the vision she has and what she, Mayor Smyth, and the other city officials hope will create equity and equality that endures for generations.
Listen to Dr. Cherise Moore talk with Matt Watson on part three of the Having the Conversation series produced by KHTS.
About SCVi & iLEAD Schools:
“At iLEAD we’ve built a model based on what we believe to be the best of all that is out there. We believe passionately in project-based learning not because it’s a fad but because it goes to the heart of how kids learn. We’ve incorporated technology not as a spiffy add-on but as an organic part of the learning process in the 21st century.
We value and encourage leadership not just as a part of a career track but by instilling in each learner the confidence and character that inspire others.
It’s not unusual that we want our learners to think for themselves. But to do this requires a grounding in the arts, in design and in humanities, and the need to feel at home in the world. For us, “thinking for themselves” is not just about solving problems but about an organic vision of the world they live in and one they will inherit.
Finally, we value the social and emotional development of our learners. We believe there is an implicit, as well as an explicit, curriculum to teach. Our goal is nothing short of learning, to change the world.” Read More…
