Hello, and welcome to Episode 85 of the Planning Period Podcast, your #EdBreakroom. I’m your host, Brad Shreffler.
This week on the show I am joined by Jennifer Binis, Jenn is a former elementary special education teacher, an education historian (by passion), and an assessment design support for teachers. She is passionate about making people understand the reasons education became what it is, and the inequalities that are built into the system. I am truly loving her EdHistory 101 Podcast, so I asked her to be on the show.
Jenn and I talk about how education came to be what it is and the racism, sexism and ableism inherent in what we do, some practical advice to improve the inequalities around us, that from the beginning education has been built on the foundation of white supremacy, the power of sitting with your cognitive dissonance,
So, sit back and enjoy Episode 85 of the Planning Period Podcast, my interview with Jennifer Binis.
Jenn, thank you so much for a thought-provoking conversation. You really got me thinking and I loved it so much.
