#76 - Supporting Indigenous Students w/ Dr. Valeriah Big Eagle
The schooling experiences of native youth are so often left out of conversations about educational equity despite the fact that indigenous youth are among the most marginalized and underserved groups in our school system. This week we have the great honor of learning from the super-dope Dr. Valeriah Big Eagle about the experiences of native youth and about what needs to be done to better serve this population of students. Dr. Big Eagle is the President of the Indian Education Parent Advisory Committee of Rapid City Area Schools and also serves as the Diversity Outreach & Engagement Director at South Dakota State University College of Nursing, Native American Nursing Education Center. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including teachers unions entering the culture war fray and a renewed look at the doomsday views of so-called learning-loss.
