If you are interested in education and have not heard of Jeff Duncan Andrade, I highly suggest you check out this program that he is a part of http://rosesinconcrete.org/
I was struggling with editing my thesis papers and since my topic is on resistance, Duncan's words really helped me explain my ideas in more concrete ways. Check out videos of him speaking, he's a great public speaker too!
This program reminds me of a This American Life podcast from 2012, "Back to School" in which they examine how to help urban students by supporting non-cognitive skills.
