2.19 Connecting In The Classroom

<p> Joining us for this episode is Erin Gruwell. Her teaching story was made into a book &quot;<em>The Freedom Writers Diary&quot;</em> and a movie &quot;<em>Freedom Writers</em>&quot;!</p> <p> By fostering an educational philosophy that valued and promoted diversity, she transformed her students’ lives, most of whom were seen as &quot;unteachable&quot;. She encouraged them to rethink rigid beliefs about themselves and others, to reconsider daily decisions, and to re-chart their futures. With Erin&#39;s steadfast support, her students shattered stereotypes to become critical thinkers, aspiring college students, and citizens for change.</p> <p> Also, Erin shares how the publication of her student&#39;s world &quot;The Freedom Writers Diary&quot; became a best seller.</p> <p> For more about the Freedom Writers foundation visit <a href="http://www.freedomwritersfoundation.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.freedomwritersfoundation.org</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mr-bryans-classroom/message
