105 Teaching "Fences" + Other Curricular Concerns | Dr. Marta Effinger-Crichlow

The bottom line is, August Wilson’s Fences and other literary or
interdisciplinary works where race is central, or undeniable,
requires utmost care, respect, historical context, responsive
research, and educators humble enough to dig deep and tell the
full truth -before it is taught in our classrooms.


This episode is so good it has to be a two-parter! Our guest is
the phenomenal Dr. Marta Effinger Crichlow - interdisciplinary
artist, educator, and indy school mom!


In part one we focus on the institution and educator
accountability, Fences in the classroom, the N word, the value of
personal and untold stories in shaping critical thinkers, and a
passion for learning.
