Episode Synopsis

Join us on Wednesday, April 24 @ 6pm EST for an exciting conversation with Karen “Dr. K” Baptiste, as she shares her work as the Founder Preschool to Prison, LLC, and film Director of her new, award-winning documentary, Preschool to Prison. Dr. K has served on the International Board of Directors and the Education Legislative Committee at ASCD where she advocated to Congress and developed national educational policy points to address systemic barriers. As a visionary who can make magic and transform any space she’s in, Dr. K leads with compassionate courage and has bridged her love of supporting individuals with special needs and individuals impacted by the criminal justice system with storytelling in film. Growing up in the Bronx and becoming a special education teacher in the Bronx, seeing kids drop out of school was the norm. She is also a co-author for The New Classroom Instruction That Works.
