An NIU professor helped urban & suburban students team up to confront education inequality | Teachers’ Lounge podcast
About this episode
An NIU professor's project unites students from a wealthy suburban high school and a lower-income urban high school to address educational inequality.
Two high schools, 25 minutes apart. One wealthy and in the suburbs. One in the city, lower-income. NIU professor Cynthia Taines' project brought together students from both schools to see educational inequality for themselves and fight for change. She's the author of The Metropolitan Community: Partnering for Equality Across the Educational Divide.
