Episode Details

As teacher hiring season jumps into high gear, we are joined by Dr. Travis Bristol of UC Berkeley and Dr. Micia Moseley of the Black Teacher Project to discuss the persistent and troubling lack of diversity in the teacher workforce. The majority of students in America’s schools are students of color, yet the teaching force remains more than 70% white. Travis and Micia discuss their work to help districts and states recruit, hire, and sustain teachers of color. But first, we explore recent headlines in education including a new study about classroom-level segregation, a ban on the use of electric shock devices in schools (you read that right), and a call to suspend active-shooter drills. ***Please consider subscribing to our YouTube channel! https://youtube.com/AllOfTheAbove *** Get MORE All of the Above: Website - https://aotashow.com/ Podcast via Apple Podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/all-of-the-above-podcast/id1339198232 Podcast via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4NO3FENVr96JJTU4ZjdnCm Podcast via Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/aotashow Podcast via Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/all-of-the-above-show/all-of-the-above?refid=stpr Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/AOTAshow/
