Ali is one of those founders who knows exactly the pain points of the customers she is serving having been a teacher herself for over 14 years... and throughout that time, she led over 100 student trips! It was so fascinating to hear about all the challenges that go on behind the scenes of planning a field trip, and Chapperone solves for this. One other topic we talked about, which is of value for any teacher or edtech founder, is how to get school admin to say “yes” to a particular edtech product. Listen on for what she encourages any teacher to do when it comes to getting buy in approval. Enjoy the episode!

Ep. 11 - Acting To Education: How Stories Promote Reading Proficiency with Tanya Wright

Ep #11: In this episode I chat with Tanya, founder of Hairiette of Harlem. Tanya has such an interesting background. Before entering the world of education, she was actively pursuing her career as an actor, and appeared in prominent shows such as Orange Is The New Black. She is now building a reading literacy program through her beloved character, Hairiette. Her reading program involves a book series, a puppet show musical, and a teaching curriculum  - and she talks through how she came up with this model and why it is effective. Unfortunately we did run into audio quality issues in the recording of this so the episode may sound glitchy in parts but it was a joy to record and, as usual, I hope you enjoy the episode.  Topics: 02:30 - The seamless match between creativity and education 03:50 - Hairiette of Harlem, the reading program... 04:50 - ... and the puppet musical! 07:00 - How watching a movie can motivate reading 10:20 - Education is a sacred space and learning should be shared Links: Check out Hairiette of Harlem here [https://bighairhairiette.com/] Follow The EdTech Lab ⁠⁠here [https://www.linkedin.com/company/theedtechlab]
