For this discussion, please view the video “How One Women Reinvented School to Combat Poverty” in the assigned Learn material for Module 3.
Dr. Tiffany Anderson currently serves as the Superintendent of Schools for Topeka Public Schools. In 2016, Dr. Anderson discussed how she transformed the Jennings School District and that zip codes would not determine the quality of education or health care provided to students.
In the presentation this week, “How One Woman Reinvented School To Combat Poverty,” Dr. Anderson is an inspiration as she discusses how she brought change to overcome social factors that impact urban education. She will challenge you to consider how just one person can make a difference in providing an environment for success within the school and community.
