Dr. Pedro Noguera talks with Hollye and Shannon about inclusion from the lens of meeting every student where they are at. Teaching students the way they learn, not making students learn the way you teach. He reinforces the importance of relationship between educators and students. We, as educators, need to start by honoring the cultures of our students–their language, their traditions, their values are precious. We can help students find motivation and enthusiasm for learning through providing opportunities for creativity and a sense of success when they are engaging in problem solving. Moving towards meaningful ways of assessing learning: performance based demonstrations of knowledge and skill, like many schools in New York are doing now. Dr. Noguera provides consultation to many Public Education Systems in states including New Mexico and Colorado. He shares some progressive programs that California, New Hampshire, and New York State are implementing with powerful outcomes. He gives straight answers on topics including standardized testing, ways educators can create humane and nurturing environments in the classroom, and ideas for getting the “conditions” right for learning in every classroom. Public education SHOULD be the very best quality for EVERY student! How do we, as Americans, find inroads to elevating our educators and students to achieve this? Dr. Noguera shares some powerful ideas that can move us forward.Here are some links that Dr. Noguera touched on:NY Performance Based Consortium Amy Biehl High SchoolACE High School

In this episode, I dive into a conversation with Pedro Noguera, one of the most influential educators in the US. He is currently the Dean of the Rossier School of Education and a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Southern California. Not many academics can say that they've served as a tenured professor at UCLA, NYU, Harvard, and Berkeley. Pedro Noguera can. Pedro begins the conversation by describing the difference between equality (principles) and equity (actions). He shares his 30 years of experience as an academic, including his work on equity of outcomes for all students. Pedro doesn't hesitate to describe the shortcomings of our education system, particularly with respect to those children most in need of our support. But he doesn't stop at the shortcomings. Pedro leaves us with a sense of hope, describing best practices he has witnessed in California and around the world.

He is the author, co-author and editor of 13 books. Prior to being appointed Dean of the USC Rossier School of Education, Noguera served as a Distinguished Professor of Education at the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles.

In the spring, more than 50 million K-12 students were hurriedly sent home as the nation’s public schools shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic. Some of those students have returned to their classrooms now, for full or partial in-person instruction, while others have continued with distance learning or quit public school systems altogether. Paul Reville, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and Pedro Noguera, dean of the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education discuss the changes afoot in American education and the consequences for students across the country. Remote learning has placed a heavy burden on many parents, including Courtney Wittenstein, Maria Makarenkova and Jenna Ruiz, who share their experiences and the decisions they have made about their children’s education during the pandemic. And Joseph Connor, the co-founder and chief operating officer of the company, SchoolHouse explains why COVID-19 has led to an increasing interest in microschools and learning pods.

Dr. Pedro Noguera is an acclaimed sociologist whose research and scholarship focuses on how schools are influenced by social and economic conditions, as well as by demographic trends in local, regional, and global contexts. He is the distinguished professor of education at the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies and faculty director for the Center for the Transformation of Schools at UCLA. In this interview, we discuss the lack of progress in closing achievement gaps in American schools that, according to Noguera, are the result of “wide gaps in educational opportunities that exist and correspond to the neighborhood you live in and often the racial and socioeconomic background of children and their families.” We spend time discussing the problem with “silver bullet” solutions, the key ingredients for school transformation, and the implications for education policy. We also unpacked what implementing universal preschool must look like, and what “high-quality” classrooms have in common.
