Sharing Web Resources-Harlems Kid Zone

I am a subscriber to the Harlem Kid’s Zone. The newsletter coved a variety of topics from: New HCZ Biennial Report Geoffrey Canada on CNN's State of the Union, National Town Hall on Ed Reform, Geoffrey Canada named to TIME 100 ,New school building and community center.

I found that the video on a Special edition of Meet The Press with Geoffery Canada founder and CEO of the Harlem’s Kid’s Zone spoke on Meet the Press to inform the viewers on his program and the benefits of what his organization does for the community and the children who attend and the challenges the children face in their neighborhood. Mr. Canada spoke on the reform for education and what we can do as volunteers and donors .He continued to speak of how they are going to prepare all of the children in a 90 block area for college whether they are already in a public school or not. He believes that if children fail the adult must step up their game and help .Accountability of Teachers and using data as a source to keep track of their progress. You owe it to yourself as an educator to visit http://www.hcz.org/media/news/626-special-edition-of-meet-the-press and view the video. I am sure you will get a better view of what the trend in Harlem is now and what it has been within the African American community, and the struggles that we as a people and the great individuals who understand that we must do what is needed to gear our future leaders in the right direction, and make an investment in their future as well as our own.

Debra,

I too am following HCZ and am very interested in what is happening in Harlem. I watched a video of President Obama when he was campaigning on the HCZ website and he said that he would like to re-create HCZ in other inner city neighborhoods across the country. HCZ is definitely and organization to watch.

It's awesome to have such wonderful people who really genuinely cares for children and their education. I am interested to know what all is included in his "master plan", if I must say. Enjoyed your post. Have a great day
