Story Ideas From Palko

1) The education building hosts workshops every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30 to 5:30. These workshops cover a wide range of academic subjects and are simply to help students perform better as students. I talked to a couple of people who say they come at least once a week.

2) There is a center within the field of education called the Center for Urban Education. This center focuses on recruiting and preparing teachers for working in urban schools, helps to improve teaching methods in urban settings, and helps conduct research regarding best practices at schools. One of the programs works with high school students in an attempt to get them excited for college and to recruit them as future educators.
