In this episode of AUHSD Future Talks, Superintendent Matsuda talks with Karen Hunter Quartz, Director of the UCLA Center for Community Schooling. During the talk, Professor Quartz discusses her journey, what the UCLA Center for Community Schooling does, what community schools represent, whole-child perspective on assessment, student voice and career pathways, the role of artificial intelligence, and community schools funding.
Professor Quartz's scholarship examines community school development, teacher autonomy and retention, and social transformation. In 2007, she led the design team to create the UCLA Community School and in 2017 served on the design team for a second site, the Mann UCLA Community School. She currently oversees a portfolio of research-practice partnerships at both schools designed to advance democracy, justice, and education.
