The 180 Podcast | Ron Berger and Laina Cox: You Can’t Separate Character from Student Success
Part two of our conversation with Ron Berger and Laina Cox.
Berger is Chief Academic Officer for EL Education, which guides a network of over 150 public schools in more than 30 states—helping build schools in low-income communities that send all graduates to college through high student achievement, character and citizenship, while also building teacher capacity through professional coaching, resources and open-source curriculum.
Cox is one of those educators and administrators who bring EL’s vision to life, as Principal at Capital City Public Charter Middle School in Washington D.C.
In fact, today’s conversation focuses even more in-depth on what exactly that means in Cox's school—literally, how they do it. In this conversation, Berger and Cox also take on the question more broadly—looking at learning in America today—and address some of the broader social questions of how learning can and should work in the face of a pandemic, social unrest, and more.
