About this listen
Welcome to another episode of The Silk Stocking Sisters Podcast. In this special episode, our host, Dr. Theresa J. Canada, shares her personal journey as a Black educator in the Northwest Local School District, located in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio.
As one of only three Black teachers at the Cincinnati school, Dr. Canada reflects her experience and the significance of being hired full-time amidst a growing population of students of color. She provides insight on the critical role representation plays in shaping a student's future and their ability to achieve success. Her decision to teach 4th grade was influenced by her own childhood experiences and her commitment to being a positive role model. This episode dives into how diversity among educators and an inclusive curriculum can transform and improve the educational experience for all students.
Tune in for a powerful reflection on the lasting impact of representation in education. Be sure to subscribe to The Silk Stocking Sisters podcast on the ALIVE Podcast Network app for more episodes!
