Justin and Kevin discuss anti-racism, unlearning, and strategies to increase equity in education in the age of Covid. Kevin also shares his experience as an advisor to the award winning Black Student Union in Cambridge, Massachusetts.“Oftentimes educators talk about wanting to integrate current events. Right now, the current events, if it's not COVID-19, it's systemic racism. It's white supremacy. If those words, if those key terms aren't being said aloud, regardless of if it's a social studies classroom or a math classroom, that should be a red flag.” - Kevin DuaIn this episode we’ll talk about:The Black Lives Matter Movement and its impact on teachingDisrupting Systems / UnlearningCurrent state of educators in COVIDCOVID exposing inequitiesCambridge Rindge and Latin’s Black Student UnionAdvice to teachers Resources and LinksFollow Kevin Dua on TwitterCheck out Kevin’s resources on Anti-Racism.Read an interview with Kevin Dua in the Daily Times Chronicle Check out Justin Reich’s new book!  Transcripthttps://teachlabpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/kevin-dua/transcript Produced by Aimee Corrigan and Garrett BeazleyRecorded and mixed by Garrett Beazley Follow TeachLab:FacebookTwitterYouTube
