In today's episode we are tackling the presence of whiteness and colorblindness in our schools. As contested as this topic is, it is essential that conscious educators are at the forefront of knowledge in how these two dynamics create inequitable and negative school experiences for many students and what we can do to lessen its effects. My guest for today is Taylor Gilley, she is a Lead Development Specialist for an urban school district in Houston, TX. Her team helps coach first year educators acclimating to teaching in an urban school system. She is currently pursuing her doctorate degree in Urban Education at Texas A&M University. Taylor’s “life work” is to help guide White pre-service teachers in navigating urban schools, establishing habits of self-reflection, building relationships across diverse teams, and cultivating culturally responsive classrooms.
