On October 29, 2018, Steve Goodman, founding director of the Educational Video Center, came to Teachers College to discuss his new book “It’s Not About Grit: Trauma, Inequity, and the Power of Transformative Teaching.”
The Educational Video Center is a social justice youth arts organization that builds the capacity of young people in transfer schools and international schools to create documentary films and to think and engage deeply with social justice.
On this episode of the Media and Social Change Podcast, we will hear from Steve Goodman about what grit is, from his lens, and its relation with urban youth and education.
You can buy It’s Not About Grit by Steve Goodman where books are sold, and you can check out films by Educational Video Center participants at evc.org.
