Community: Education's Greatest Innovation
Poullard, Ephodza
Childhood Education, v98 n6 p6-13 2022
Education in some form has existed as long as people have. The earliest learning experiences involved children informally absorbing the values, customs, and ideologies of their communities. As societies evolved, this learning became more formalized; buildings went up, curriculums were developed, processes were created, and structure was established--all leading up to a modern-day standardized education systems. However a failed education system is often a result of collective failure--teachers fail students; school leaders, policymakers, and administrators fail teachers; and the entire community fails the children. As the problems start and end with community, so do the solutions. This article examines Anseye Pou Ayiti (Teach for Haiti) (APA), a human-centered movement of civic leaders advocating for education equity in Haiti's underserved communities.
