Ep. 73: Let them be loud; Let them show up. A conversation about culture with Tina Curry

Acknowledging culture is to see the person. Their heritage, their values, and their familial norms. Ignoring culture is to frustrate, separate, suppress, and oppress. Healthy schools celebrate culture and share stories. In this episode, Brian and Kasey invite Dr. Tina Curry in to discuss how schools can best recognize all students, celebrate stories, and embrace cultural difference. Dr. Tina Curry is an award-winning coach, professor, and teacher and is current lead instructional coach at Fernwood Elementary School in Chicago. Dr. Curry brings 24 distinguished years in innovative success as an educator in Chicago, is a valued member of the adjunct faculty at National Louis University, and a lead equity facilitator for DePaul University’s Office of Innovative and Professional Learning. She is also a contributing writer to Teaching for Racial Equity: Becoming Interrupters, winner of the 2022 Excellence in Equity Book Award.
