In episode 3 of year 1 we look at the variety in public school districts in the United States. I point out the scarcity of studies on how the district as a whole impacts student learning. 

Distancing mechanisms are constructs that inhibit student learning and lead to what I deem "tribal markings" within districts. Even within, let alone between districts a variety of culture, languages, and customs exist. 

I delve into family systems theory to extract the model of the "family scapegoat" to apply to school districts. I emphasize the importance of learning to respect our differences as we collectively seek to help the students from within our own individual perspectives, beliefs, and values.  I hope you enjoy this third in our podcast series. Let's all keep on dancing!
