#96 - Advancing Kindergarten Dopeness w/ Tayo Enna!!
Our show may or may not be guilty of spending way too little time on issues related to early childhood education. Well, that ends today! Super-dope kindergarten teacher and education advocate Tayo Enna joins the show this week to help us explore the ins and outs of the fight for educational justice in today’s kindergarten classrooms. Should kindergarten be mandated? How does the growth of T-K impact the early stages of the education pipeline? And with growing attention being paid to diversifying the teaching force, how do matters of diversity and inclusion impact early childhood educators? Tayo Enna, a 17-year kindergarten vet and Oak Grove School District's 2021 Teacher of the Year, joins the show to help us explore these issues! But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a teaching model that puts over 100 students in a class and a predictable failure of one state’s CRT witchhunt tipline.
