in this episode, Franchesca Warren interviews Kelly Hurst, Executive Director of Being Black at School, as we discussed the realities of being black at school-the good, bad, and ugly. This episode doesn't do the obligatory talk about "race" but they go "deep" into not only the realities but what teachers can do to really do the work. In this episode, we discuss...
the background of how being Black in School was started
the bias that many teachers have towards students of color
why the work of Being in Black in School is needed
why being colorblind does not help a situation
three things for educators to do TODAY to start the work of deconstructing an educational system that swallows our most vulnerable students.
