Intentional Education & Culture of Love with Luvelle Brown

Informações:

Synopsis

Kristina chats with Luvelle Brown, superintendent of the Ithaca (NY) Independent School District and author of Culture of Love. Love is more than an emotion, Brown says, but rather is embedded in action that administrators and teachers can take to better educate their students.  It’s important to have structured, intentional education with students, he says. Reflection informs that structured education, and therefore, must be intentional as well. Conflict is always present in education but the choice of whether we attempt to combat it — and how we deal with it — is up to us. Brown is involved in multiple projects in the community and teaches at a local college, so he gave up trying to achieve an abstract notion of work-family balance, but he chooses priorities of the moment, whether it’s spending time with his kids or dealing with work issues.
