Not gonna lie–-the political, environmental, and economic outlook right now is rather bleak. More than ever we need to ensure that our students have quality, humanizing spaces within which to learn and grow. But what does it actually mean to have humanizing schools and classrooms, and how can we shape a human-centric school system amid the wave of anti-human bills seeking to ban books, ban curriculum, and ostracize our most marginalized communities? Chris McNutt and Nick Covington, two super-dope educators who co-founded the Human Restoration Project, join the show to help us explore these issues! But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a call to prohibit cell phones in the classroom and a policy change that may soon boost access to higher education for incarcerated persons.
