BPR’s Cass Herrington spoke with REGAL community leaders Cicely Rogers and Toshia Sitton about how they’re encouraging and motivating their students during the pandemic.
A collaborative, community-based learning program organized during the pandemic aims to be a catalyst for education justice.
It’s called REGAL which stands for Relevant Education Grows All Learners. It’s a framework designed to support students of color by offering an inclusive learning space, led by adults in their own community. University of North Carolina Asheville professor Dr. Tiece Ruffin is one of the collaborators behind the effort.
The REGAL Learning Pods handbook is a multidisciplinary, collaborative effort among educators and community organizers in Asheville.
