Three Act Play - A Conversation with Kaleb Rashad
from Free Range Humans Hosted by Kaleb Rashad, Jal Mehta, Rod Allen
Dr. Kaleb Rashad is the Interim Chief Executive Officer of High Tech High. Kaleb is also the Co-Founder & Creative Director at the Center for Love & Justice located within the High Tech High Graduate School of Education (HTH GSE). In this role, he works with community leaders in the US, Canada, Spain, and Hong Kong to create new schools and redesign existing schools focused on advancing equity through Liberatory Project-based learning. This week's conversation covers: the people who have influenced Kaleb's work, including a new record of references to past guests; the importance of mixing good education design with justice and equity, and why the transfer of power, history, identity, and partnerships are key components to the process; the need to move from an improvement space to a transformational space; teaching people how to think, not what to think; asking about, and then focusing on what is meaningful learning for the students; why we need to make sure students and teachers are comfortable bringing their whole self to the classroom; and why historical context is important for understanding today's challenges especially through the lens of race.

What this episode covers
"What are your wonders?" This week Kaleb Rashad brings great energy to the podcast as we discuss what goes into strong learning design. One main idea that permeates throughout the episode - our students need to help drive design and that can be as simple as asking them about their interests and wonders.
