This episode contains a brief mention of student suicidal ideation.
From tutoring peers in a classroom to shaping federal education policy, Anousheh Shayestehpour has seen American education from every level. In this episode, she joins us to unpack the tension between standardized testing and real student growth, including how ‘No Child Left Behind’ shifted the focus from skills to scores, and while the data testing provides is valuable, the culture built around it is a different story.
Anousheh also reflects on her work with Pacific Island communities, freely associated states, and Indigenous nations, and what a community-based, relationship-first approach to education can teach the rest of us.
