Ep.80 - Decolonizing Education ft. Carolyn Roberts

Decolonizing Education w/ Carolyn Roberts !- Episode 80

Increasingly, educators are pointing to the need to decolonize the classroom and the school system in order to truly meet the needs of Indigenous, Black, and other marginalized students. Although there is a clear need to rethink how we educate our students, there isn’t always much clarity about what it actually means to decolonize education or what that looks like. To help us explore this issue we’re joined by Carolyn Roberts, a super-dope Indigenous academic working in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. Carolyn’s work is grounded in educating about Indigenous people and the decolonization of the education system. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including new data about racial disparities in career technical education and a new plan in California to get all third graders reading by 2026.
