The Making School Matter podcast is a journey toward the discovery of how school should be a place of meaningful agency rather than something that happens to children. We explore best practices of engaging learners as they make meaning and connect to the world beyond the walls of schools and the lives they might lead in it. University Liggett School is located in Southeast Detroit and is known for emboldening learners by giving them the tools and the confidence to answer their own questions and cultivate their passions, thereby assuring an understanding of the world that is deeply, individually meaningful. University Liggett School is the home of The Center for Teaching and Learning (CITL). CITLs goal is to empower educators to find ways to connect and guide future generations towards knowledge and self-discovery.
