As part of this series I will be posting stories I read or hear about where students, parents, teachers, principals and other members of the community participate in improving the local public school education.
Here is the first awesome story from Teaching Tolerance:
Bringing the Civil Rights Movement to Students
When faculty members at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash., saw that their state received a grade of "F" in the Teaching Tolerance report "Teaching the Movement: The State of Civil Rights Education 2011," they decided to take action. With student leaders, they launched a pilot program called Whitman Teaches the Movement. Whitman College students volunteered to teach lessons about the civil rights movement to students from grades 2 to 11—and the Walla Walla School District took them up on it.
