#107 - Unearthing joy amid troubling times w/ Dr. Gholdy Muhammad!!

All of the Above Podcast

Back for a second time! The illustriously dope Dr. Gholdy Muhammad comes back to All of the Above today to fill us in on all the wonderful things that she’s been up to since her first appearance a few years ago. Then, she serves up a lesson on the importance of joy in education! Gholdy breaks down her latest work, Unearthing Joy, and helps us explore what the concept of joy means and what role it should play in teaching and learning, especially at a time of heightened right-wing attacks on education. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including varying approaches to addressing student absences and a potential funding cliff headed our way as relief funds run out.
