The Metropolitan Community book launch & celebration
Book launch and celebration! The Metropolitan Community: Partnering for Equality Across the Educational Divide by Cynthia Taines (Myers Education Press).
The Metropolitan Community: Partnering for Equality Across the Educational Divide tells the story of two Chicago-area schools—one suburban, one urban—whose students come together to examine the disparities between their schools and advocate for change. It follows these students over a year as they meet, tour each other’s schools, wrestle with how to discuss unfairness, and fight together for a more equal education. Through the examples set by students, readers are invited to develop their own “metro outlook,” to see how our seemingly separate worlds are connected by the educational system we hold in common, and must work together to reshape.
The event will feature a panel of CPS and suburban teachers, and former students, who participated in The Metropolitan Community Project.
