S2:E18 Veteran Teacher Work, Histories, and Dreams - Part 3.3 of "Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy Now!: The Brilliance and Joy of Students of Color"
This episode is inspired by Dr. Gholdy Muhammad’s best-selling book, Cultivating Genius: An Equity Model for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy as well as her second book, Unearthing Joy: A Guide to Culturally and Historically Responsive Teaching and Learning. I am in conversation with Stacy Joy, award-winning veteran teacher of 40 years in the Los Angeles Unified School District. During our conversation, she remembers the many changes in education (and what remains the same) from technology to curriculum. Ms. Joy also shares her experiences over the years, her perspectives and practices regarding culturally and historically responsive teaching, and the changes she would like to see in schools with high populations of Black and Brown students. Finally, she offers so many other schooling possibilities for teachers and students through freedom dreaming around culturally and historically responsive teaching/schooling.
