"You are capable and it is possible." Darius Stanley Assistant Professor, Educational Leadership, Author To order his book: https://hep.gse.harvard.edu/9781682538869/blackeducatorsmatter/ "I realized that I don't think they hired me to teach." This week, we are joined by Dr. Darius Stanley, an assistant professor of educational leadership at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Hailing from Tallahassee, Florida, Dr. Stanley shares his journey from being one of the few Black students in his K-12 classes to attending Florida A&M University, an HBCU that felt like home. His experiences in predominantly white schools and later at an all-Black high school shaped his understanding of the importance of representation and community in education. "Black educators are the shepherds of maintaining the wholeness of Black students." Dr. Stanley reflects on his career, from teaching social studies in Orlando to pursuing a PhD to enact systemic change. He discusses the challenges Black educators face, such as being seen as disciplinarians rather than teachers, and the critical role they play in creating spaces where Black students can see their potential. His book, "Black Educators Matter: The Experiences of Black Teachers in an Anti-Black World," explores these themes and emphasizes the importance of addressing anti-Blackness in educational systems to truly support Black educators and students. Special thanks to Mr. Burgess, Dr. David Jackson, and all the Black educators who have influenced Dr. Stanley's journey and continue to inspire others.

Jim Crow's Pink Slip - Dismantling the Education Gap with Amy EdelsteinIn this episode of The conscious Classroom, Amy Edelstein helps illuminate the little-known history and ongoing influence of resistance to de-segregation within America's education system - and how mindfulness, being conscious and aware of our biases, is an important part of our work to redress inequity. Leslie Fenwick's seminal work, Jim Crow's Pink Slip, serves as a guide and compass, unveiling the long shadow left by the  dismissal or demotion of a significant number of black principals and educators after the Brown v. Board of Education ruling. This episode offers a deeper understanding of past injustices and their lasting impact and also shows some approaches that can support our efforts to shift the educational landscape. Expect to uncover why representation across racial and cultural lines is more than just a number—it's about students being able to see themselves in the leaders in their learning journey and a call to bring about change in our classrooms for each student and for the benefit of society at large.Additional reading related to this episode can be found here: Jim Crow's Pink Slip by Leslie Fenwickhttps://journals.sagepub.com/pb-assets/cmscontent/TCZ/Book%20Reviews%20Collection%202022/July%202022/Jim%20Crow%27s%20Pink%20Slip-1659381190.pdfhttps://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Education/2022/0912/How-the-1954-Brown-decision-still-influences-today-s-teaching-ranksA Diverse Teaching Force Is A Quality Teaching ForceWhy Diversity MattersSupport the showThe Conscious Classroom was honored by Feedspot in their Top 100 Classroom Podcasts!

S4E4: Coron Brinson Speaks on The Black Teacher Project, Support for Black Educators Under Non-Black Leadership, High Expectations for Black Scholars, and More For results to take place in the direction of executing a mission, sometimes uncomfortable conversations need to take place. As a melanated family, we have to hold each other accountable and correct those who are causing harm to our movement, but also show gratitude for those demonstrating positive actions or making progress for the overall benefit of our melanated scholars.  We vent it out by indulging in a quick S.O.B.E. style rant to crack open the door and welcome in uncomfortable but needed education conversations, then transition into the solution for the State of Black Education. The podcast serves as a safe space to have those accountability conversations, while bridging the gap of understanding and providing clear action steps in our fight to elevate the educational experience for our blessed and melanated scholars, while maneuvering in an education system populated by uncultured and seasoning deficient individuals. Excited to have this conversation with you. Hosted By: Quis Evans

As soon as he was overwhelmingly elected to a second term as Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis wasted no time re-planting a flag in the national culture war. It is widely assumed that DeSantis will be a candidate for President in 2024. It remains to be seen whether or not his attempts to alter the curriculum for the teaching of Black History will prove to be a winning strategy in the Republican primary or in a general election. But that curriculum has certainly been altered. The College Board — the non-profit educational organization which produces the Advanced Placement, or AP, course material at issue in Florida — contends it did not revise the curriculum because of political pressure. David Coleman, the CEO of the College Board, insisted in his interview last week with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly that the revisions were made well before the Florida governor's criticisms. But those revisions were announced just a couple of days after Florida Gov. DeSantis blasted the original draft of the course as contributing to a leftist political agenda. Florida's Commissioner of Education described it as “woke indoctrination masquerading as education.” When the College Board first announced the Advanced Placement course in African American history last August, it garnered praise from scholars on the left. The revised version, released last week, deletes some of the most well-known contemporary voices in the African American canon, and delegates topics like Black Lives Matter and Critical Race Theory to a list of possible research topics, rather than as part of the course itself. The issue of what to teach and what to suppress in telling the story of our country's racial history became a cause celebre on the right. Gov. DeSantis has now expanded his attacks to encompass not just the high school AP course, but college and university curricula as well. Florida isn't the only state to have challenged the dimensions of what Black History should include. Nearly half of all states have passed legislation against Critical Race Theory, which before it became a hot topic, had only been taught in law schools.Today on Midday: Conversations with teachers who teach Black Studies in Baltimore high school classrooms. Plus, the perspective of the African American Studies scholar who coined the hashtag, #BlackLivesMatter. We begin with Patrice Frasier.

Black History Month was started by a Black educator. Black History Month is Black education. This video focuses on the origins of Black History Month and the legacy of Dr. Carter G. Woodson known as the Father of Black History. The video was originally recorded and streamed via YouTube. What originated as Black History Week eventually evolved into what we have come to know today as Black History Month. Founded by a Black educator, Black History Month needs Black educators to take a prominent and proactive role in the planning and design of activities and events related to Black history. Black educators at all levels should be included and involved in Black History Month program plans. Black History Month programs and events need the input and involvement of Black educators to keep Black education as the centerpiece of any celebration of Black historic achievement and attainment. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bruce-jackson3/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bruce-jackson3/support

Marlee Bunch and Brittany Collins join the Phenomenal Teaching Podcast to discuss the intersection of Grief-Responsive Teaching and Anti-Bias/Anti-Racist (ABAR) Teaching with Michelle Morris Jones. Developing our collective understanding of how to support students who have experienced trauma and loss increases our ability to develop classroom and school communities that support agency, equity and understanding as described in the PEBC Teaching Framework. Listen in as Marlee and Brittany share startling statistics, incredible resources, and practical strategies to support students in their healing journeys. Grief-Responsive Teaching and ABAR Teaching are distinctly different, yet have strong mutually supportive similarities. Marlee and Brittany share how paying attention to environment, connection and curriculum provide students with a safe place to land and thrive. When supporting students who are experiencing grief or healing from trauma, Brittany encourages educators to: Cultivate environments that are consistent and safe; Create opportunities for students to connect with one another in authentic ways; and Develop a curriculum that is steeped in choice so that students can process loss through shared literary experiences, writing, and personal narratives. When developing ABAR school communities, Marlee encourages educators to: Attract and retain BIPOC teachers so that the school environment honors all cultures and races; Make connections with colleagues who don't look like you to learn about other's experiences; and Develop a curriculum that is steeped in creativity, art, poetry, and allows for text pairing to explore a variety of perspectives. Access the mentioned resources here. Marlee is an educator with over 15 years of teaching experience. She holds two graduate degrees, and is currently working on her doctoral degree from the University of Illinois. Her study illustrates the impact the long history of segregation, Brown v. Board of Education, and desegregation efforts had on the teaching experiences of Black female educators. Check out Marlee's zine, "Unlearning the Hush: The Empowering Narratives of Black Educators and Mentors." Brittany's work explores the impacts of grief, loss, and trauma in the school system, as well as how innovative pedagogies-- from inquiry-based learning to identity development curricula-- can create conditions supportive of all learners. Brittany is the author of Learning from Loss: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Supporting Grieving Students, which was published in 2021. The “Phenomenal Teaching Podcast” is brought to you by Public Education & Business Coalition (PEBC) and is intended to elevate the strands of the PEBC Teaching Framework illustrated in Wendy Ward Hoffer's book, Phenomenal Teaching.
