The State of Education

Welcome to the State of Education, where we examine the state, or condition, of education across the country and discuss the role of the state in providing environments where learners can thrive. It’s no secret that our education system fails students across the country and disproportionately impacts students of color, students with disabilities, and queer and trans expansive students. So what are we doing about it? We’re partnering with families, friends, and neighbors who are not only impacted by educational inequity, but are fierce advocates in their own rights. We hope to not only amplify these voices, but to work alongside them in concert to build tools, skills, and strategies in holding learning institutions accountable in providing an equitable education to all students. The State of Education is presented by Voice(Is) in collaboration with Farfetched. Voice(Is) is a consulting and advocacy business that seeks to make advocacy accessible through using a multi-media approach to disability awareness and access to resources in addition to providing advocacy services. FarFetched is an art and music imprint based in St. Louis specializing in thought-provoking and innovative art. We provide support to artists and citizen journalists to tell their stories via podcast and other media, hosted from inside the TechArtista business incubator.You can support this podcast and our mission to make advocacy accessible through our Patreon page at www.patreon.com/voiceis where patrons can gain access to exclusive materials and supports in their own advocacy journeys.
