  • Episode 96 I Taking on "Education Homogenization" with Chadwick “Niles” Phillips

    22/05/2017 Duración: 28min

    Rock The Schools host, Chris Stewart talks to hip-hop artist and educator Chadwick “Niles” Phillips about how education changed his life and his quest to help and support youth in recognizing their talent. Chadwick’s challenging youth growing up in Michigan was filled with trauma and at the same time, filled with support that enabled him to dream and pursue a better future. He found a path by excelling in school, which led to an opportunity to go to college. Today, Chadwick is focused on education activism and helping youth pursue their dreams, instead of the pressure to conform to an education system that inadequately prepares students for academic success and oftentimes suppresses their individual creative and intellectual gifts.
