Description:

Christopher Emdin wants schools to be a place that embraces a whole student's identity. For far too long, public education has been stuck in a time where it was not designed for all students, especially students of color, he says. Emdin, an associate professor at Teachers College, has long focused on issues of race, class, and diversity in education. Now, he's proposing a new educational model to help teachers and students celebrate rachet identity in the classroom. He reimagines schools where educators use authenticity as a driving factor in their work. In this episode, Emdin shares his philosophy of being rachetdemic, how educators can become rachetdemic, and why it matters.
