Human-Centered Schools: Book Talk & Signing Baton Rouge

Venue & ticket info

Come out and join educator, organizer, policy expert and author Scott Goldstein as he talks about his new book "Human-Centered Schools: A Roadmap to Sustainable School Progress" Instead of doubling down on high stakes testing, evaluation and accountability- what if we could transform education with a human-centered approach rooted in relationships, trust, student-centered learning and truly addressing the root causes of educational inequity? Come on out! Let’s talk about it? CRITICAL ACCLAIM: "A timely and important new book! With artificial intelligence becoming more pervasive, this book offers a profoundly important reminder: humans need humans. This is especially true for children who need caring adults who can provide stimulating instruction and emotional support to grow and develop. Goldstein's advice and recommendations are grounded in solid research and common sense. Educators should read this book and follow the sage advice offered before adopting the latest technology and AI fads." —Pedro A. Noguera, Distinguished Professor of Education, Emery Stoops and Joyce King Stoops Dean, University of Southern California "There are no silver bullets in the work of school improvement. But as Scott Goldstein reminds us in this timely book, there is a way forward. By building a system rooted in human dignity, we can transform how our schools operate and give young people the education they deserve." —Jack Schneider, Distinguished Professor of Education at UMass Amhert, Author of A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door “Human-Centered Schools reminds us that great public schools are built on relationships, trust, respect for educators’ professional voice, and strong community schools that provide children and families the supports they need to thrive. Scott Goldstein offers a roadmap for moving beyond test-and-punish accountability toward public schools where educators are supported as professionals, communities are genuine partners, and every child has access to the rich, engaging education they deserve.” —Randi Weingarten, President, AFT
