Episode 11: Disruptive Pedagogy: Good teachers are competent but great teachers are disruptive.
“No matter what a child comes with you need to be in that place to help them learn.” Karyn Farrar-Perkins
Does it matter if a child is white or black or yellow or brown? Absolutely! This week Karyn Farrar-Perkins joins us to talk about the importance of resisting ‘colorblind education” and instead empowering children to embrace their identity in order to greatly impact all of our children’s learning. She also speaks on how we should examine what we learned in school in order to rid what we pass on to future generations. Specifically, she talks about how racial inferiority and superiority are shaped and reinforced at every level of the educational system.
This is a long episode but I strongly encourage you to listen until the end, every word is a nugget!
