In this conversation, Jhoanna Maldonado and Anna Acosta orient our work in curricular questions that are deep and community-centered. Where is radical love in our schools? Who’s represented in our units? How do we search for answers to critical questions with our students and their families? How do we make change at both systemic and classroom levels so we can support students, families and communities as critical thinkers and actors? If you’re interested in learning some of the answers to these questions, take some guidance from Jhoanna and Anna. Take a listen…
