This week on That's SO EDVOLUTIONARY, we revisit the question: "Can change come from the top?" this time with Vice President of the Denver Board of Education, Tay Anderson.
And listeners.... this was a fantastic conversation.
Tay is a prominent figure in Denver as one of the youngest elected officials in Colorado history, but also as an activist for various social justice causes, one of them obviously education.
We hope this long-form interview not only lifts up challenges and potential solutions we are currently grappling with in education locally and nationally, but also allows listeners especially in Denver, to learn more about Tay Anderson away from the brief, emotionally-charged arena of social media and news sound bites. We left the conversation feeling like the students and educators of Denver have an incredible ally to the collective dream of education working better for all.
Notes:
This conversation with Tay was recorded in January 2022.
In the introduction, Ali references that the board "flipped" in 2020, but it was actually November of 2021.
