Liz Phipps Soeiro: Creating Community and Active Citizens
How do we create community connections beyond our school walls? By opening our doors, says Cambridge elementary school librarian Liz Phipps Soeiro in her MTA ED Talk.
Phipps Soeiro turned her school library into a community hub — a place where her elementary school students and their families come together with elected officials, community organizers and others in the name of civic engagement.
Phipps Soeiro was one of eight speakers to present at MTA ED Talks: Big Ideas About Education at UMass Amherst on August 1, 2016. Phipps Soeiro is an elementary school librarian, founder of the Cambridge Book Bike and an advocate for inclusive literature and school spaces. Her Twitter handle is @reflectlibrary.
