In this compilation episode of the podcast in honour of Black History Month, Kyle & Jon highlight six educators of colour that have had a significant impact on their pedagogical practices as they continue their journey to craft a more culturally responsive classroom experience for all students.

You’ll hear from Rafranz Davis speak about diversity, Lauren Baucom’s passion towards de-tracking; Mindfulness and identity in the classroom from Christina Lincoln-Moore; the importance of catalyzing change from Robert Q. Berry; Kris Childs shares insights on access and equity in task selection; and, Jose Vilson’s ideas on the importance of teacher voice in the education system.

You’ll learn:

• What diversity is and what it is not;
• Why we should consider how we track (stream) students in our schools;
• Why mindfulness is needed in mathematics classes;
• How you can implement equitable teaching practices into your classroom;
• How to promote access and equity in the mathematics classroom; and,
• How we should reimagine the work in math classrooms.
