Ask Sarah: the Big Questions

In this episode, I welcome three guests – Peggy Brookins, Shanna Peeples and Tom Rademacher – to a discussion about gender in the classroom prompted by a question from a teacher about whether or not we should teach boys and girls differently. They offer an incisive conversation about the role of girls and science, the necessity of knowing our students and the importance of helping students go beyond labels. 

In this episode, I welcome three guests – Josh Parker, William Anderson and James E. Ford – to a discussion about the unique challenges of being part of the 2% demographic population of black, male teachers in this country. These three educators speak openly and honestly about everything from teaching craft to code switching to the "invisible tax" on black, male educators.
