We walked about 8 blocks from the Streetcar to the KIPP Central City Academy, and there were many homes in a state of collapse, from the combination of poverty, the hurricane, and the flood. Wooden frame houses seeemed to fare especially poorly.
Since 2007, the public schools of New Orleans (NOLA) have benefited from university volunteers engaged in service-learning experiences. Teacher candidates,and faculty from NLU work with NOLA teachers to help clean and set-up classrooms, develop curriculum and libraries, and prepare materials for children beginning the new school year. Service-learning experiences transform pre-service teachers into civically engaged educators and active community leaders.
