Students from EL Education Schools Share a Heart-Warming Original Song

As many of you know, our friend Ron Berger – author of Leaders of Their Own Learning – is co-founder of Expeditionary Learning and academic leader for EL Education, which supports a network of schools across the United States. EL Education just posted this video, featuring students in many remote locations contributing to a song celebrating Better World Day. Enjoy! And have a great weekend!

From the Vimeo description:

This music video was composed, rehearsed, and performed by EL Education students during the covid19 crisis while in physical isolation. It was made in two weeks in order to celebrate Better World Day, a day on which EL Education students contribute to their communities. The students accomplished this while also doing distance learning and in some cases helping siblings and working at essential jobs. This could not have been possible without the families who supported their children’s creative contributions while quarantined. This collaborative effort to bring joy, give gratitude, and offer comfort during a time of crisis is an example of the EL Education community doing more than we think possible. Even when apart, we’re going to make the world better.
