Beyond Survival - Cultivating Joy and Love in Education

In Episode 3, Larry and Nel examine the life-changing influence of abolitionist teaching and what it means for educators to reimagine learning environments that center joy, love, and the intellectual brilliance of Black and Brown students. Through freedom dreaming, culturally responsive pedagogy, relational teaching, and restorative practices, schools can become spaces where students are empowered to question systems, develop critical consciousness, and experience the joy of learning.

High-Stakes Assessments & the Violence it Reproduces

In Episode 2, Nel & Larry discuss the historical roots and modern consequences of standardized testing, asking questions about fairness, power, and the hidden ways harm can be reproduced through educational structures that many of us have been taught to accept as normal. From eugenics-era thinking to the ways testing continues to shape opportunity, identity, and access, this episode challenges viewers to reconsider what we actually achieve with this kind of assessment.

Season 1: Episode 1 of #EducationInContext launches the series with an honest and necessary conversation about the unintended harm that can live inside well-meaning school structures. This episode sets the foundation for the series by asking a critical question: 

What happens when we prioritize structure without fully understanding its impact?
