Description:
If you are a white educator working with students of color, this episode is a must-listen. I only WISH it existed 20 years ago when I entered the classroom! In the episode, Jessica Marshall, a Ph.D. student at Northwestern University makes a compelling case for why teachers should spend more time getting to know students’ WHOLE selves – and less time trying to control or “fix” them. Listen to hear how Jessica’s personal experiences growing up in Chicago, coupled with 12 years as an educator, has led her to seek answers to how we can better attend to issues of race and equity, centering the lived experiences of marginalized youth.
