Gnu Stories Podcast | 2.4 | Friends School 101: What is Quaker Education?

 

SYNPOSIS: What does it mean to be a part of a “Friends” school community? How do Quaker values influence the approach to learning and teaching at a Friends school? We see many different Friends schools across the world; how are they similar, and how are they different? Former Head of School Dr. Rodney Glasgow hosts a conversation with Deborra Sines Pancoe (Associate Director, Friends Council on Education), Toni Grave Williamson ( Director of Equity and Inclusion, Friends Select), and Dr. Mónica Ruiz (former Assistant Head of School, SSFS) about these and other questions about Quaker education.

(Note: the synopsis has been updated to reflect a change in Leadership at SSFS, noting Dr. Rodney Glasgow as the former Head of the School. This recording took place under his leadership at SSFS from 2020-2024)
