This episode takes OTLP to a place it has not gone before. Dr. Hollie, your host, asked for volunteers to be guests on the podcast during a recent presentation New York with the Transfer Schools. Two random folks in the audience took him up on the offer. These are first timers to the VABB approach and they only had 2 days of learning with Dr. Hollie. The first brave person is Jazmin Rivera-Polanco, principal at Bronx Haven High School. Her incredible journey is a true and authentic New York story that starts in the South Bronx back and, not so ironically, ends in the South Bronx. The second brave soul is Catherine Owens, World Languages teacher at Harlem Renaissance High School. Here incredible journey starts in Minneapolis-St. Paul, namely Woodbury High School (one of our favorite CLR schools) then takes us to the world of Google and lands in Harlem. Listening to these two journeys will inspire and enlighten you. Also, don't miss Dr. Hollie's two cents on the joy of ending your school year CLR strong and vabbulous.
