The idea of "humanizing," as Gary says, the charter story seems critical. It is a challenge for many schools (charter & non-charter alike) which are taking risks to improve teaching and learning, school design, and community connections. The general public possesses an often indelible impression of what schooling, especially US "high schooling," is and should be. What strategies of storytelling, humanizing, and making school innovation "observable" are being used or are worth trying? Is video the only answer short of bringing the public on site to see kids and teachers and what they can do in charters schools?
