Send us a text

In this episode, Dr. Berry and her guest, Dr. Kareem Moncree-Moffett discuss the significance of teachers in the classroom and how math is integrated into everyday life. The educators also addressed the issue of math trauma that students of color may experience, suggesting that math can be taught in a way that is more accessible and relevant to students.

Dr. Moncree-Moffett highlights the importance of representation and cross-cultural experiences for Black and Brown students in the classroom, and recommends parents supplement their children's education for a more comprehensive learning experience.

They talked about the challenges of recruiting and retaining teachers of color and the need for a simpler alternative licensure process to increase diversity in the classroom.

The discussion also touched on Dr. Moncree-Moffett's advocacy for a transitioning student and her non-profit organization, Youth Lead Alliance, which empowers youth voices and promotes systemic changes in the community. The conversation also touches on the politics behind the state takeover of the Houston Independent School District in Texas.
