Detroit Public School Listening Project

Fellowship Chapel 7707 W Outer Dr Detroit MI48235 Saturday August 16 2014 11 00am-12 30pm The goals of the Listening Projects are to 1. Effectively document the impact of current education policy on the lives of families and their communities for local national and international organizing efforts. 2. Unify the voices of an emerging national education organizing network that is working to address institutional racism that informs local and national education policy. 3. Collect authentic stories (qualitative evidence) to align peer reviewed research (quantitative evidence) strengthening the demand for the Sustainable School Success proposal as a viable solution to help improve struggling schools. 4. Make the connection between viable effective neighborhood schools and healthy safe prosperous communities. The Detroit Youth Report (DYR) is the parent organization of the Detroit Life Coalition. The Detroit Life Coalition is the youth empowerment branch of the DYR and both are part of a national alliance of community based and youth organizations dedicated to addressing the lack of investment in young people s success on a local state and federal level.
