Up-front disclosure: the podcast I’m about to recommend is one that I’m paid to post-produce.

The Intercultural Development Research Association, an independent, private non-profit based in San Antonio, Texas, recently began publishing the “IDRA Classnotes” podcast as a way to let educators around the region — and the nation — know about their important efforts in “creating schools that work for all children.”

I challenge you to listen to this podcast on the IDRA “Parent Leadership Model” for parental engagement and tell me that it doesn’t move you.

Consider all the good work that school districts and educational organizations are doing in your own area right now that you don’t know anything about. And then, as a a parent, a principal, school committee member, or taxpayer, think about how a series of podcasts might help bring those projects to light.

IDRA’s hope is that “Classnotes” will do just that. Take a listen and judge for yourself.
