Education isn't a To-Do List is a Podcast Dissertation about Educational Technology and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy Initiatives in NC.
Districts, schools, and classrooms are inundated with initiatives in K-12 education. Educational technology and culturally sustaining pedagogy are two prevalent initiatives.
Many initiatives from improvement strategists are created to maintain the status quo and are a brain drain for teachers, instead of prioritizing initiatives like educational technology and culturally sustaining pedagogy that revolutionize learning experiences and student engagement.
In this final episode, I will wrap up any lingering thoughts left over from the interviews and the dissertation as a whole.
These are the show notes:
