Cheating, Productivity, and Trading

This week, special guest host, Fernando Chavez, steps into the booth to fill in for Dee while on vacation. Ken and Fernando dive into a complex CPT convo covering...
C: Cheating - Is the game fair when it comes to calling foul when using references and resources in the same way as condemning privilege as an advantage when it comes to education?
P: Productivity -
Trading - How does the latest hoarding of wealth by hedge funds present itself as a perverse idea while we still have homelessness in America?
That and more on Ep 20 on The Liberated Educator Podcast.
Fernando Chavez, MA, NBCT

Born in Los Angeles, California, and growing up in what is considered a low-income/at-risk community section of the San Fernando Valley, overcoming systematic obstacles has been at the forefront of Fernando’s empowerment. Being a child of undocumented immigrants, Fernando used education and a vehicle to access, equity, and empowerment. After graduating from UCLA with a BA in Sociology, he decided to pursue his passion which was (and continues to be) empowering, inspiring, and motivating traditionally marginalized youth. He received a credential in Exceptional Needs and a MA in Multicultural/Multilingual Education from California State University, Northridge. Concurrently with his masters, he became a National Board Certified Teacher. As a teacher of Diverse Learners (Special Education and ESL), Fernando has empowered and motivated scores of students to see their true potential. He has taken his experiences academically and professionally to develop students of diverse backgrounds, support his colleagues, and champion positive change both locally and nationally. His keynote centered around understanding the contemporary diverse learner. He speaks to challenges students face and pushes the thinking of educators by having them reflect on their implicit bias and pedagogical approach.
