from K-12 Public Education Insights: Empowering Parents of Color — Trends, Tactics, and Topics That Impact POC · host Kim J. Fields

"Send me a Text Message!"What happens when a mother discovers her son's desk placed in the hallway outside his classroom? For me, that moment—along with an unfounded accusation of theft years later—sparked a personal mission to decode the implicit racial structures affecting children of color in our public education system.Drawing from my powerful personal experiences in predominantly European-American schools, I take listeners into the heart of educational advocacy. After facing frustrating interactions with educators and experiencing microaggressions as an African-American mother, I pursued a doctorate in education to understand teacher training and research-backed solutions. Now, I transform complex educational theories into practical, actionable strategies for parents navigating similar challenges.The K-12 Public Education Insights podcast stands at the intersection of educational research and parental action. Each weekly episode unpacks critical topics, including the rise of racism in today's schools, academic gender disparities, navigating IEP meetings, advocating for 504 services, digital device impacts, career readiness, and effective district navigation. The upcoming fourth season promises to explore the closing of the Department of Education, the concept of productive struggling, white backlash to African-American educational progress, and more essential subjects for parents of color.Beyond educational content, monthly episodes address personal development topics to support parents holistically, because advocacy requires both information and resilience. As I like to remind you, "No one knows your child better than you." Together, we're building a community that ignites a movement to transform what our children learn, why they need to learn it, and the value of becoming lifelong learners.Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, Echo, or YouTube so you don't miss a single insight as we empower parents with the knowledge to confidently advocate for their children's academic achievement, well-being, and equitable treatment in public education. Get ready for Season 4! This season will continue uncovering themes, topics, and tactics of K-12 public education and how they impact you and your family. Stay tuned… And be sure to subscribe! Love my show?
