from All of the Above Podcast · host All of the Above
It was a school board race that set national records for outside spending and was characterized by some as a battle between charter and union forces. The dust has settled and attention now turns to the future of the nation’s second-largest school district, LAUSD. Today we’re joined by super-dope educator and incoming school board member Tanya Ortiz Franklin to reflect on the good, the bad, and the ugly elements of running for office. How does she feel about the experience and what is her plan for moving the district forward? But first, Jeff and Manuel explore recent headlines in education including an analysis of inequitable funding between schools inside the same school district and a study about the harmful educational impact of placing girls in male-dominated study groups. ***Please consider subscribing to our YouTube channel! https://youtube.com/AllOfTheAbove *** AGENDA 0:00 - Welcome! 6:29 - Funding disparities between schools in same district 19:33 - Study shows male-dominated study groups bad for girls 30:17 - LAUSD’s newest board member, Tanya Ortiz Franklin 57:09 - Farewell to a pair of dope educators EXTRAS - Tanya on our Teach For America Episode: https://youtu.be/gEqNyuCOrhY - AOTA One-on-one: Tanya Ortiz Franklin on Restorative Justice: https://youtu.be/DrOgL19RnTE Get MORE All of the Above: - Website - https://aotashow.com/ - Podcast on multiple platforms via Anchor - https://anchor.fm/aota - 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 - Twitter - https://twitter.com/AOTAshow - Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/AOTAshow/ Theme Music by its tajonthabeat: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCChvx9rSyOTEO2AnYynqWFw
