She is an advocate for the practice of a culturally sustaining pedagogical approach in education. Lorena has been in the field of education, working in various settings, since 2001. Her extensive experience in myriad of settings ranging from extracurricular youth work to community spaces to the traditional classroom equips her to offer sound advice on strong teaching practices. Specifically, her classroom experience has been as an ELA teacher from grades 6th through 12th. Lorena has held educational leadership positions at the department level, school-wide level, and in the larger district level from designing curriculum to strategizing for improvement.

Kevin and Gerardo infiltrate the halls of power in the highest levels of educational government by visiting with the first Latino United States Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel Cardona! From his humble beginnings in Puerto Rico to a "class clown" to a twenty-year veteran educator, Dr. Cardona has traveled a long road and, in his words, "my stripes are the same." As the Biden Administration rolls out American Rescue legislation, Kev and Gera as him questions about the expenditures, investment, and future of American education in this contentious time. We discuss important issues facing communities of color in education, and share some laughs. And of course, a top five that will, no doubt, sow the seeds of controversy. We are profoundly grateful to EduColor and Profe Equis, José Vilson for this amazing opportunity.
This Week: Normally we love to get into deep, critical conversations about the wrongs of the world of education and how to right them. This week, we're just gonna enjoy the forces of white supremacy, bigotry, and racist lies in school being on the defensive! Whether it was an anti CRT bill being defeated after scandalous neutrality on Naziism in the Indiana state legislature, the resignation of one of those legislators from a high ranking position at the College Board, Advanced Placement being forced to respond with a statement on their values, students shouting down an anti-trans candidate for the Texas state legislature, or friends of the show The Expectations Project and EduColor releasing their Truth Matters for Students Toolkits, it was a good week for the causes of educational justice.

#DisruptTexts is a grassroots effort by teachers for teachers to challenge the traditional canon in order to create a more inclusive, representative, and equitable language arts curriculum. DisruptTexts believes that books can be transformative, especially when they are part of a more equitable curriculum and antiracist education. Literature study in U.S. classrooms has largely focused on the experiences of White (and male) dominated society, as perpetuated through a traditional, Euro-centric canon. All students deserve an education that is inclusive of the rich diversity of the human experience. They deserve one that introduces them to and affirms the voices both inside and outside their individual lives. In this session—for educators by educators—we will discuss what voices—authors or characters—are marginalized or missing in our classrooms? How do our biases affect the way we teach and engage with students? How does a text support or challenge issues of representation, fairness, or justice? How a text perpetuates or subverts dominant power dynamics and ideologies? How can we ask students to wrestle with these tensions? How can we collaborate to identify, revise, or create instructional resources that can center and do justice to the experiences of historically marginalized communities? Led by Lorena Germán, Chair of the National Council of English Teacher's Committee Against Racism and Bias in the Teaching of English and she's a co-founder of #DisruptTexts. She's also Director of Pedagogy at EduColor. Moderated by Latinx KidLit Festival co-founder and author, Ismée Williams. #DisruptTexts Principles: Continuously interrogate our own biases and how they inform our thinking. Center Black, Indigenous, and voices of color in literature. Apply a critical literacy lens to our teaching practices. Work in community with other antiracist educators, especially Black, Indigenous, and other educators

Listen in as Lorena Germán, co-founder of #DistruptTexts, joins Michelle Morris Jones on the Phenomenal Teaching Podcast to unpack the Heart, Head, and Hands of Anti-Bias and Anti-Racist (ABAR) Teaching. At the heart of ABAR teaching lies Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy (Paris & Alim, 2017) and the importance of exploring one's own identity, implicit biases, and instructional practices. Lorena encourages all educators in an invitational yet firm way to consider, "Whose values are we holding onto tightly and how are those values impacting young people? and In what ways can our teaching be more inclusive of others?" The what of ABAR teaching is the head and requires us to ask, "What do we teach and why do we teach it?" Moving from occasional performative experiences that feature a multicultural text, a holiday, or event in history to a culturally sustaining curriculum requires us to re-envision our curriculum, units of study, materials and lessons. Our planning practices must evolve to include the planning question, "How does this (topic, text, concept, etc.) move us toward positive social transformation?" So what might ABAR teaching look like on Monday morning? Well that is the how or hands of ABAR teaching. Lorena introduces her framework for ABAR education, Textured Teaching, explaining that it is flexible, interdisciplinary, community centered & student driven, and experiential. Lorena and Michelle link these elements of ABAR Teaching to the areas of planning, community and workshop of the PEBC Teaching Framework which is published in Phenomenal Teaching by Wendy Ward Hoffer. Lorena is is the Chair of the NCTE's Committee Against Racism and Bias in the Teaching of English and she's a co-founder of #DisruptTexts. Lorena also co-founded Multicultural Classroom with her husband and education leader, Roberto Hermán and serves as the Director of Pedagogy at EduColor. Lorena has held educational leadership positions at the department level, school-wide level, and in the larger district level from designing curriculum to strategizing for improvement. She is the author of “The Anti Racist Teacher: Reading Instruction Workbook” and upcoming Textured Teaching.

Are there opportunities inside the classroom to help kids navigate those differences?”She shares stories of how ignoring identity and engaging in color blindness is not helpful. “One father said it really bothered him when teachers said they treated all the kids the same. His response to that was always, 'The same as what?'"
