Hello, and welcome to Episode 148 of the Planning Period Podcast, part of the OnPodcastMedia Network. I’m your host, Brad Shreffler.
This week on the show I am joined by Ken Shelton. Ken is the next in my podcasting blind dates series. He has been an educator for more than 20 years. He spent time as a technology teacher, has done policy work with states and countries, and focuses his time on equity and tackling biases and racism in schools.
Ken and I talk about his work with antiracism and antibias policies in schools, how he replies to those that question if racist policies exist, the importance of finding common ground with those different than us, how equity, and techquity, are a critical concern in education, how empowerment of students can lead to culturally responsive practices, how all educators need to be better listeners, and the benefits of looking at every interaction with another person as a possibility to learn.
So, sit back and enjoy Episode 148 of the Planning Period Podcast, my interview with Ken Shelton.
