Dr. Travis Brown has decades of experience as an educator in both traditional district and charter schools. Learn how he has opened two schools and is now leading Pharos Academy, a K-12th grade charter school located in the Bronx, as well as the co-founder of Teach Jam, a conference for urban educators. He is intentional about making teachers a priority and has created a learning environment where they thrive, alongside their scholars. During this interview Dr. Brown shares with Dr. Lopez his journey in both charter and district schools about what works and what improvements need to be made. He also speaks to his health being compromised while trying to manage the demands and be transformative in education. This is a two part conversation. So take notes and stay tuned for part 2!
