In this week’s episode, we amplify the voice of Dr. Kalisha Waldon. Dr. Waldon has a Ph.D. in Curriculum & Instruction and is committed to using her expertise to empower and support educators and organizations in the creation of transformative spaces- where self-reflection and action are encouraged and where the voices and experiences of individuals are valued. These transformative spaces create environments for people to work and grow into the & versions of themselves through self-reflection, honest dialogue, and experiences that push them to think beyond the status quo and to open their minds to actionable growth opportunities.
Dr. Waldon also has experience in instructional design and curriculum development for schools and organizations, and mentoring/coaching. She builds capacity by offering professional development opportunities on topics such as fostering equity in the classroom and your company, self-reflection as a catalyst for growth.
What you'll learn:
- Why equity-minded educators are needed for our students of color (specially Black students)
- Education is about loving the brilliance out of all of our students- How we can do that? Through culturally responsive teaching and transformative spaces for students.
- How you can get support to do this equity-minded work. (i.e. surround yourself with a village who will support you, commit to learning more evidence-based practices, etc.)
