Why do funders fail to center children in the areas of both climate change and learning environments? Join our partners at Early Childhood Funders Collaborative and Trust for Learning for a webinar connecting high quality learning environments and climate justice. Fundamentally, storytelling is about agency. Do I have a role to play in my life, and in my community? And do I believe you have an equally important role to play? Children pick up on these stories — and their role in them — very early in life, whether we tell them explicitly or not. They pick up on invisible stories of power about how people from different backgrounds are treated, and how to be in right relationship to their environment and community across home, school, and the natural world. In the stories we tell, both to children and about them, are their perspectives encouraged and responded to? Or should children be seen and not heard? Are children at the center of policy issues that shape their lives, or are these issues marginalized and de-prioritized? On September 10th at 2pm ET, join our partners at Trust for Learning for a conversation linking two urgent issues that might seem far apart on the surface — the climate crisis and the need for sustained investment in public education from birth through adolescence.

Why Should I Financially Support VUE? NYU Metro Center proudly publishes @Voices in Urban Education (VUE). The open-access journal, VUE, endeavors to serve as a “roundtable-in-print” by bringing together diverse education stakeholders with a wide range of viewpoints, including leading educators, writers, and thinkers as well as essential–but frequently underrepresented voices in educational scholarship–such as students, parents, teachers, activists, and community members. Each issue of VUE is organized around a theme and strives to provide cutting edge analysis of a vital issue in urban public education formats including visual arts, articles, interviews, both video and written documentaries, poetry, and autoethnographies. VUE was initially published in 2003 and housed at the Annenberg Institute at Brown University for School Reform (AISR). In 2018, NYU Metro Center would acquire Voices In Urban Education to solidify and expand upon the journal’s grassroots engagement and connections to the education justice movement. VUE Thrives at NYU Metro Center Over the last six (6) years VUE has continued to flourish under NYU Metro Center and the leadership of Executive Director, Dr. Fabienne Doucet. Voices in Urban Education has published eight (8) engaging issues focusing on topics ranging from Re-imagining School Integration, Culturally Responsive and Sustaining Education, Educational Research and Advocacy, Equity Issues in NYC Schools, and Resistance in Queer and Trans Education to name but a few. Starting in 2023, the academic journal, VUE, has been digitally hosted on Janeway, an online publishing platform. In addition to raising the visibility and prominence of the journal, NYU Metro Center has also installed a new editorial board for VUE to efficiently sustain this vital journal of urban, public education. VUE’s editorial team is composed of faculty members in the roles of the Editor-in-Chief and the Deputy Editor, and doctoral fellows who have stepped into the Senior Fellows, Junior Fellows, and Content Editor Fellows positions. How Can I Lend My Support to NYU Metro Center’s VUE Help Voices in Urban Education continue to uplift the voices and ideas of frequently overlooked education stakeholders.

Researchers from the Center for Policy, Research, and Evaluation (PRE) share equity resource at a national conference. NYU Metro Center's PRE research team presented preliminary findings at their workshop session, “What Parent Leaders Do and Why They Matter: Lessons from a National Research Study.” These findings were from their Spencer Foundation funded project about Parent Power and Leadership. In this study, Researchers from the Center for Policy, Research, and Evaluation explore the impact of family and parental leadership and advocacy on children of participating adults. PRE continues to document how collective parent action relates to the learning and thriving of families, especially children and youth. The Researchers at PRE created a resource that that was in response to early conversations with parent advocates who desired more connections with parent leaders across the country.
