While the 40+ participants are engaged in various workshops focusing on a wide variety of topics, some UNITE staff members are busy debriefing each other on what they have seen during the day and discussing new ideas for future UNITE events and workshops. We are not joking when we say that "we live and breath this urban education stuff." Feedback and new ideas are two key elements that have continued to shape and mold UNITE from a small university student group to a national non profit organization with members from five different universities and partnerships the nation.
It is Saturday night 11:40pm and we, teachers, are still talking about school, about education, about students, about how to make ourselves better teachers and how to make UNITE better... Do we have no life? Or do we thrive on the belief that all students, in every school, deserve a great education?
(Maybe a little of both...)
