Please join us for "Preschool to Prison": An Interview with Dr. Karen Baptiste About the New Documentary Film.
Karen “Dr. K” Baptiste is a visionary who can make magic and transform any space she’s in. Dr. K leads with compassionate courage and has bridged her love of supporting individuals with special needs and individuals impacted by the criminal justice system with storytelling in film. Growing up in the Bronx and becoming a special education teacher in the Bronx, seeing kids drop out of school was the norm. Dr. K founded Preschool to Prison, LLC, and is the film Director of her new documentary, Preschool to Prison. She has served on the International Board of Directors and the Education Legislative Committee at ASCD where she advocated to Congress and developed national educational policy points to address systemic barriers. She is also a co-author for The New Classroom Instruction That Works.
