(re)voicing teaching and learning in Paseo Boricua (Video)

What does it mean to take a “narrative approach” to exploring school, community, and literacy? When Alexandra Cavallaro and Patrick Barry were in a graduate seminar on inquiry-based learning, we thought about this question a lot as we heard stories about the Pedro Albizu Campos High School (PACHS) in the Paseo Boricua neighborhood of Chicago and the efforts that were being made there to extend learning beyond the space of school. (re)voicing teaching and learning in Paseo Boricua is a short film that we created with teachers, administrators and students. One teacher, Elaine Vazquez, joins us as coauthor on this video, which was presented at the the fifth annual Community as Intellectual Space symposium in June of 2009.Patrick Barry
