We love to offer solutions along with our discussions of the current problems in education today. Today’s fresh perspective comes from Dr. Emily Affolter, the director of the Sustainability Education Ph.D. at Prescott College. The focus of this program is on the nexus of social and environmental justice as enacted in teaching, learning, and leading. Emily’s interest is in culturally responsive teaching across grade levels to infuse social justice principles into education. Join us to learn more!

Show Highlights:

• The battle for social justice in education
• Culturally responsive teaching is NOT a political stance.
• Thinking about opening up the ways we teach and embracing pluralistic methods
• Examples of a pluralistic approach to education
• The issues of systemic apathy
• Resources for parents and teachers from the Equity Literacy Institute (ELI)
