Classnotes Podcast (January 20, 2010) Traditionally, parents and community members have been invited into their neighborhood public schools to cut construction paper and sign permission forms. But communities across the south have begun to take the lead in partnership with educators to improve their own schools. IDRA has developed a process for community-based issues roundtables to catalyze local action cross-sector dialogues between African American and Latino communities, using education as common ground for collaboration. Rosana Rodríguez , Ph.D., director of development at IDRA, and Bradley Scott, Ph.D., director of the IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity, discuss the next phase of this work, in which IDRA is developing an online launch kit to help communities take this process upon themselves, leverage what is underway, and expand the circle of support and leadership that began the action dialogue process.
