In this episode, David Pluviose sits down with Dr. Katherine Norris, associate professor and chair of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Howard University’s School of Education.
Sharing a unique perspective from her journey in education, tune in as Norris discusses the nation’s teacher shortage, particularly as it relates to teachers of color, and touches on the debate around critical race theory.
KEY POINTS:
QUOTABLES:
“I wanted to be able to prepare teachers to go out into the field and to offer culturally responsive practices, especially in our high-needs public school systems.”
“There's a really big imbalance of ‘who are the students in our public schools’ and ‘who are the teachers that serve them.’ And that becomes a really critical issue.”
“We need to be able to push forward, and we need to be as organized as the other side that is attempting to stop teaching the truth in the classroom, not teaching about our history or slavery or anything that relates to race at all.”

Such an amazing platform. So many milestones have been made and so many more to come.
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
