Learning, for Truth and Love
Learning, for Truth and Love
Podcast Description
The main goal of this podcast is to bridge research and practice. Many are frustrated by student disengagement, classroom challenges, and mental health issues. We must attend to engagement and have real solutions now for the mental health and well-being of our students, educators, and parents. This show provides insights into learning from various perspectives that attend to issues in our society. As a researcher and educator, I use my experiences to provide insights into educating students. This includes but is not limited to specific classroom exemplars, pedagogy, and so on.

The podcast centers around critical themes in education including student engagement, mental health, financial literacy, and cultural representation. Examples of episodes highlight discussions on the importance of Black representation in STEAM curriculum, overcoming generational financial trauma through literacy, and the role of motivated thinking in educational settings, catering specifically to current societal challenges.

In this conversation, the speakers explore their diverse backgrounds and experiences, particularly focusing on the cultural melting pot of Trinidad and Tobago and the unique educational environment at Howard University. They discuss the importance of Black history in education, the challenges of perfectionism, and the need for a more inclusive approach to learning that celebrates individuality and encourages exploration.
