Let’s reevaluate what works for our children’s education | Randall Woodfin

With the new school year underway, it’s that time again for parents, teachers, students, and administrators to also wrestle with the eternal question: Are we really teaching our young people in order to better prepare them for life and the jobs of the future? In a recent TEDx talk, education advocate and school board member Randall Woodfin wants us to think about how we have structured the educational environment for our children.

He says we can initiate change with how we invest time in our children to help them succeed. Randall Woodfin is an attorney, public servant, and a proud product of both Birmingham City and Jefferson County schools. After graduating from Morehouse College, Woodfin returned to Birmingham and became active in public service. Woodfin worked for the Birmingham City Council, the Division of Youth Services, and the Jefferson County Committee on Economic Opportunity before earning a Juris Doctorate from the Cumberland School of Law. Woodfin went on to become the assistant attorney for the City of Birmingham.
