“Albuquerque Public Schools played host on Tuesday to a delegation of education officials from Alaska and Hawaii who engaged in “learning labs” to learn more about community schools, an emerging innovative concept in K-12 education.
The group of close to 70 officials descended on Wilson Middle School, where they toured a garden and student-based health clinic before hearing a presentation from school officials and engaging in a question-and-answer session.
Lori Grassgreen, director of conditions for learning with the Association of Alaska School Boards, joked in an interview that she was ‘certainly glad to defrost’ during her trip to the Southwest. But on a serious note, the multi-day tour of APS schools was an opportunity to see how community schools operate.”
