A Revolution in Education – Season 3
Episode 1: Equity
In this 1st episode of Season 3 of A Revolution in Education podcast, we talk with Rob Riordan, co-founder of High Tech High and esteemed President Emeritus of the High Tech High Graduate School of Education (GSE), and Kaleb Rashad, Interim Chief Executive Officer of High Tech High, on the need to create new models of education that value the experience of youth as learners and the need to pursue new communities of equity.
They speak to the necessity of shining a light on the shortcomings of our current education system and call for education to be centered around freedom, justice, and the affirmation of cultural identities. Their call for a critical consciousness as to how our systems either limit or liberate possibilities for others runs deep and is borne out of their histories as educators and social activists.
Many of us acknowledge High Tech High for its innovative pedagogy, but here we hear the stories that give purpose to their work.
