Episode Details

Carla Ferreira, Harvard-educated poet and Newark’s Teacher of the Year, is turning classrooms into cultural hubs—using poetry and The Beatles to empower bilingual students and celebrate their identities in the Ironbound. Meanwhile, Newark’s education scene soars: Science Park High just cracked New Jersey’s top 20, and other schools show major gains. STRIVE North Jersey graduates its biggest class yet—23 tuition-free medical assistants, mostly Newark residents—with wraparound support for jobs, housing, and childcare. But amid the progress, a fatal shooting in South Ward leaves a 21-year-old dead; motive and suspect remain unknown. Look out for Berkeley College’s virtual open house this Wednesday—and don’t miss your chance to win Jonas Brothers tickets for Dec 21 at the Prudential Center.
