In Episode 41, we are learning with Travis Lape, Innovative Programs Director in Harrisburg School District (SD), Shana Wagers, Instructional Coach at Freedom Elementary School, and Landri, a young learner in the Freedom Elementary program.
Located in Sioux Falls, SD, the Harrisburg School District’s current K-12 enrollment is around 4800 students. It is the vision of the Harrisburg School District to create a legacy of exemplary academics, paired with a comprehensive scope of extra-curricular activities and opportunities that will develop an educational environment of leaders who foster citizenship, exemplify integrity, and evoke critical thinking. As an innovative, leading-edge school district, the district works to maximize positive change and transcend barriers.
As a result of our conversation, here are two questions we are thinking about:
- What learner-centered aspects of Harrisburg School District do you connect with most?
- WHAT MIGHT BE if you made voice and agency the drivers of your transformation?
