Description
“I can’t talk about how I understand the research without first going into…the history and the experiences of the communities that I’m looking to serve,” Dr. Gretchen Givens Generett says in Season 2, Episode 4 of All For Literacy. Host Dr. Liz Brooke has a compassionate discussion with Generett about understanding the lived experiences of students and educators and how to provide support so both can thrive.
Generett currently serves as dean, professor, and the Noble J. Dick Endowed Chair of Community Outreach at the School of Education at Duquesne University. Her teaching and research work aim to enhance educators' skills and habits so they can effectively teach diverse populations of students.
Gain thoughtful and research-backed insight into how educators can create truly equitable systems, understand education as a human system, and foster meaningful learning and relationships while considering diverse histories and lived experiences. Educational leaders will especially benefit from Generett’s deep look into her co-authored book, Five Practices for Equity-Focused School Leadership.
Strengthen your classrooms with useful tips for navigating challenging moments, especially those often exacerbated by the realities of power, privilege, and different lived experiences.
