Episode 8: Dr. Alexa Sorden

  • Summary

  • In 2013, principal Alexa Sorden reopened Concourse Village Elementary School in the Bronx in New York City after it was shut down for poor performance and disrepair by her predecessor. Concourse Village has a combination of high expectations for students and a flat reporting structure that places a premium on teacher empowerment and an innovative literacy-first approach in all subjects. In 2018 on the state assessments, eighty-eight percent of students passed English and math state tests, more than 40 points higher than the citywide average. That same year the school was awarded a Blue Ribbon for Excellence from the U.S. Department of Education.
