4.7 Fugitive Pedagogy: Carter G. Woodson and the Art of Black Teaching

Wednesday, June 9, 2021 • Duration 01:15:39

When schools began to integrate following Brown v. Board of Education, many Black educators lost their jobs and the Art of Black Teaching became more difficult to sustain in integrated settings. Wrapped up in a deep history of critical consciousness and political engagement, some would argue that there has been an active history of criminalizing Black education, though the resilience of the Black community has preserved its rich pedagogical tradition. As part of our Equity Thought Leader podcast series, join our conversation with Dr. Jarvis R .Givens, Assistant Professor at Harvard University and author of Fugitive Pedagogy: Carter G. Woodson and the Art of Black Teaching, as we unpack the rich and storied history of Black education in America. For those who may want to extend the learning evoked by the podcast, the following facilitation guide (https://bit.ly/3x95gVQ) has been developed to help with next steps in deepening the shared learning. This series is brought to you in collaboration with Learning Forward, the only professional association devoted exclusively to establishing and sustaining highly effective professional development for educators.

4.6 Stories as Equity Data

Sunday, May 2, 2021 • Duration 37:41

When we speak of data, it is natural to envision numbers and graphs, but quantitative data only tells part of the story. And sometimes it tells the wrong story, as we bring our own biases to the interpretations. What if we used stories to deepen our understanding of quantitative data or to challenge our own assumptions about the data? What if we added this third-dimension to the numbers to balance the stories we tell ourselves about the numbers we see? Listen to Val Brown, a national leader in anti-racist education, help us unpack the power of stories as equity data. For those who may want to extend the learning evoked by the podcast, the following facilitation guide (https://bit.ly/3eQ8hTy) has been developed to help with next steps in deepening the shared learning.

3.5 Collaborative Professionalism: When Teaching Together Means Learning For All

Wednesday, February 5, 2020 • Duration 39:13

"All professionals need to [collaborate] otherwise they are not [in] professions because people don't share their expertise." In a profession that has traditionally been siloed, where walls and doors create natural barriers, how might educators better leverage collaboration as they grow in their practice? As part of an 8-part "Thought Leader" podcast series, join our conversation with Dr. Andy Hargreaves (Emeritus Profession at Boston College Lynch School of Education, Visiting Professor at University of Ottawa, and President/Co-Founder, ARC Education) as we delve deeper into the transformational power of collaborative professionalism.

3.4 Promoting Equity and Excellence: Change Models That Work

Wednesday, January 29, 2020 • Duration 26:59

How would knowing that your students' families were paying $50,000/year for their child's education impact your instruction? How can you reduce your D/F rate by as much as 80% in one semester? As part of an 8-part "Thought Leader" podcast series, join our conversation with Dr. Doug Reeves (International Keynoter, Researcher, Author, and Founder of Creative Leadership Solutions) as we delve deeper into the the relationship between equity and excellence.

3.3 Challenging Conventional Grading

Wednesday, January 22, 2020 • Duration 34:32

In an increasingly competitive world, grades have become a currency of sorts in education, but do they really measure student learning? What do we do if a student doesn't do any of the work, but aces the final? How are we to respond when a student puts in all of their effort to learn, but fails an exam? How might our grading better reflect their learning? As part of an 8-part "Thought Leader" podcast series, join our conversation with Dr. Thomas Guskey (Senior Research Scholar at University of Louisville and Professor Emeritus at University of Kentucky) as we delve deeper into the history of our current grading practices, their impact on student motivation, and potential best practices to better reflect student learning.

3.2 Beyond Diversity: How to really talk about race in education?

Wednesday, January 15, 2020 • Duration 29:52

Conversations about racism have become more amplified in recent years and, as educators, we have a responsibility to surface how it affects the systems we inherited and our response to removing barriers to access for all.

2.5 It's A Good Day to Be a Bruin: Linked Learning at Wilson High School

Tuesday, April 16, 2019 • Duration 40:37

As the nation continues to wrestle with making meaning of college AND career readiness, why does Linked Learning make sense for America's high schools? How can a school that is already working, change to become even better and stronger -- transforming the high school diploma from a certificate of completion to a passport teeming with opportunities? Join Edward Steinhauser (Linked Learning Pathway Coordinator) and Renee Shipman (Assistant Principal) of Wilson High School in Long Beach, CA as they tell the story of their school's transformation from a traditional high school to a Linked Learning College and Career Ready school. In their second full year of implementation, with only half of their student population in Linked Learning Pathway Programs, they offer valuable insights, lessons learned, and wise words to guide others who have the courage to tackle the challenge of preparing every student, every day for an increasingly competitive and shrinking world.

2.4 Scaled Grading: Challenging the Mechanics of Conventional Grading Systems

Wednesday, April 3, 2019 • Duration 32:55

Grading is a "technical process," but how deeply do we consider the mechanics of a grade? On the current 100 point grading scale, there are 60 degrees of failure, and only 40 degrees of passing. In the words of Dr. Thomas Guskey, "A grading scale in which two-thirds of the designated levels describe failure also implies that degrees of failure can be more finely distinguished than degrees of success" (On Your Mark, 28). Does this make intuitive sense, let alone, is it a fair assessment of learning? Join us for Part 2 of our discussion with Dr. Chris Lund (Assistant Superintendent of Research and School Improvement, LBUSD) as we unpack the mechanics of a scaled grading, as an alternative to the traditional grading scale. Could we be on the threshold of better representing student learning in a grade?

2.3 Making the Grade

Tuesday, March 19, 2019 • Duration 24:01

Do our grades tell the story of student achievement, progress, or learning that we want them to tell? Who is the audience for our grades? Why does it matter? Join Dr. Chris Lund, Assistant Superintendent of Research and School Improvement in Long Beach Unified, in Part 1 of a 2-part series, as he challenges us to consider our conventional wisdom around current grading practices. Using Dr. Guskey's work around grading as an anchor, listen in and see how we might better help our students "make the grade."
