Can Helicopter Parents Save our Struggling Schools? | Shaka Mitchell | TEDxNashville

Despite what you might think, we are all helicopter parents to some degree. Let's channel that energy in ways that benefit our kids - all kids - in school, not just on the athletic fields. As Rocketship Education’s Regional Director for the state of Tennessee, Shaka Mitchell is responsible for the planning, growth, and success of Rocketship’s network of elementary, public charter schools throughout the state. Shaka began his career in education at the D.C.-based Center for Education reform. He then led outreach efforts at the Institute for Justice, a constitutional law firm based in Arlington, VA. Prior to joining Rocketship, Shaka was the Director of External Affairs for LEAD Public Schools, a network of public charter schools founded in Nashville, TN. He is an alumnus of Belmont University where he teaches American Government and Constitutional Law as an adjunct faculty member. He earned his J.D. from the Wake Forest University where he sits on the Board of Advisors for the Journal of Law and Policy. Shaka is a member of the Tennessee State Advisory Committee to the U.S.Commission on Civil Rights.
