Featured in the documentary film, The Push Outs, Dr. Victor Rios is a Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research focuses on At-Promise Youth and the school-to-prison pipeline. The author of six books and a TED Talk garnering over a million views (TED TALK, btw, not TIK TOK he’ll explain).

 Dr. Rios is committed to constructing a better Public School System.

 This man can easily be a pundit, instead he chooses to operate with substance.

For Too Dope Teachers, Kevin and Gerardo, and me, Rate Your PD,  Dr. Rios is a teacher’s Philosopher King. Dr. Rios humbled us with an interview. We were honored to share the roundtable with him to discuss the historic 2020 School Year.

 With humility, integrity, and authenticity-This is Dr. Victor Rios.
