- Geoffrey Canada's 'Harlem Children's Zone' has helped put historically low-achieving students in New York on academic par with their grammar-school peers. Over the years, the HCZ introduced several ground-breaking efforts: in 2000, The Baby College® parenting workshops; in 2001, the Harlem Gems® pre-school program; also in 2001, the HCZ Asthma Initiative, which teaches families to better manage the disease; in 2004, the Promise Academy, a high-quality public charter school; and in 2006, an obesity program to help children stay healthy. CNN's Anderson Cooper reports.
I used to go this school, Promise Academy 1. It was great to go there, teachers actually cared.
This is awesome. This program needs to be all over the United States.
Here in Sacramento, CA. we have our known Geoffrey Canada...his name is Kevin Johnson...founder of St. Hope Academy Charter schools in Oak Park, CA. Mr. Johnson is now the Major of Sacramento, CA. and although he is missed still in the St. Hope system of education, it is easy to see the strength of his actions. Pres. Obama is correct by announcing that America needs more "Harlem Zones," and we need to open up our hearts and our pocket books to the education of our American children...Now!
I'm practically in tears watching this. Salute to this man. If I had it, I would give this cat so much money
Jack Johnson give what you can
oh man i felt like crying when some of those mothers couldn't get their children to this school.
Transparency. People are more accepting when they see for themselves.
THIS IS AMAZING!!! so glad to see a program that cares about educating kids who otherwise wouldn't have a chance.
I'd love a follow-up
My only issue is about the choice of college. What about the students who do not want to go to college and want to pursue a trade?
This cat is the real deal.
This is very inspiring.....
Geoffrey Canada should be the secretary of education.
Im a proud father of a son .thats been in Harlem children zone.now a freshman in high school. Thank you for doing what you done.for my son and all the other children. Promise Academy is number 1
just practical like Marva Collins did in Chicago and DC
i LOVE THIS!!
Love me some Geoffrey Canada!
This is AMAZING! Our Future has a promise!
i love this school this is my school
My hero!
this man is doing it, and its working, without tax money. the current system is broken and the solution it not higher taxes or more prisons. I found superman and he is Geoffrey Kennedy! come to Omaha
Secretary? In the state we are now, he should be president. Education is still underestimated far to much.
Im with you on the public lottery thing. Why dont they just do what universities do and just mail/email/phone call you a reject or acceptance response
Thats my school
"Chances of their child succeding in life were reduced" um kinda harsh dont you think? Not all kids who live in harlem and go to public school turn up screwups. Besides there is more than one charter school in the area.
Four family who are tied with teachers union dislike this.
That is great. EXCEPT for that public lottery. What a shitshow.
ok but if there wasnt a public lottery, what would there be?
lol kids are sometimes smarter than adults! :P
i go there for karate
that kid is really really smart. ur avg kindergartener will not say "as much as it kills me, yes". i still wouldnt use that expression because its too abstract. and im 19. what are they doing? just picking the smartest kids for the interview? lol.
LOL right i was thinking the same thing
More to life than money, their is a savior that can change the heart.
this no shock
hey, who's here from sociology? i see you not watching the video and skimming the comments hoping that it ends sooner. no answers here, just trying to waste your time as you read this.
