When Nationwide Children’s Hospital needed help designing an after-school mentorship program for troubled youth, they partnered with teachers and students at Columbus City Schools. The students dug into self-directed research, learned how to revise their work to produce the best possible product, and gained new confidence in public speaking and problem-solving. Watch below to see how their teacher rediscovered her passion for education and how her class came up with a data-based solution for a real and urgent problem.
“I needed to see how education should be and that it’s not unrealistic for me to want these things for the kids.”
– Alana Veach, High School Teacher at Columbus City Schools
