Flipboard EDU Podcast

I have had many discussions with my peers in the last year about race, equity and culture as well as what it means to be Black in America. We discuss how ingrained racism is in this country and its education system. One conversation in particular that has continued to surface is how the celebration of Black History Month has rested in the hands of educators. I can honestly say that my peers, who are as diverse as the United Nations, have been appalled at how some of the ways Black history is taught and introduced to students. Michelle Ellis tweeted an example, which caught my eye as it began with “Somebody is ALREADY MESSING up Black History Month.”

It dawned on me, many educators may not know what is culturally appropriate or be aware of biased practices embedded in Black history lessons. For the podcast, I spoke with Michelle Ellis and Yvette Blake Ed.D, my mentor, about the way we celebrate Black History Month in American schools. These two brave educators didn’t hesitate to share their knowledge and expertise on the subject.

In this episode, Michelle, Yvette, and I discuss Black History Month, exploring ways Black history can be incorporated into curriculums with fidelity. We also review resources for teachers teaching Black history and provide suggestions for ways to do this purposefully and meaningfully.

*A meaningful discussion about the lack of funding and resources for schools across America requires an honest look at the role systemic racism plays in education. All too often, we hear about the need for equity as a way to rectify disparities; in reality, equity doesn’t address the core problem but rather perpetuates it. “* *Separate but Equal* ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separate_but_equal ) *” was abolished and replaced by equity, yet minority communities still struggle 66 years later.**I’ve invited* *Dr. Michael Moody* ( https://www.insighteducationgroup.com/our-team-michael-moody ) *back on the show for a discussion about equity in education,, along with* *Knikole Taylor* ( http://www.knikoletaylor.com/ ) *. Dr. Moody is the CEO of Insight Advance, an organization dedicated to improving instructional practices and students’ achievement through various strategic coaching models. He joined us for episode 10 of the podcast about* *Racism in America* ( https://redcircle.com/shows/929fa95d-1fbd-4ae6-9a7e-926f90fb7b4e/episodes/a3c584c6-fa0f-4303-82cf-4b9cd894bbff ) *. Also for this conversation, I wanted a real educator doing the work of equalizing education, and Knikole Taylor is perfect. She’s a rockstar educator who resides in Dallas, Texas and currently works as a technology instructional coach. Mrs.Taylor is an international professional development trainer, curriculum developer, speaker, and author.
