<p>Who is teaching can often be just as impactful as what is being taught for students. In this episode, we discuss the wealth of expertise, and the invaluable lived experiences educators of color bring to their students. </p><p>The school system was not designed for students of color, let alone teachers of color. Join us as we dive deeper into TAF’s next component, diversity of staff, and explore what can be done to support teachers of color and why we should strive to have staff at all levels mirror the student population at schools. </p><p>Co-Host: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/trishdziko/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Trish Millines Dziko</a>, Executive Director, Technology Access Foundation </p><p>Co-Host: Amrita Kauldher, Director of Network for EdWork, Technology Access Foundation </p><p>Guest: Scott Friedman, Associate Director, Association of Washington School Principals </p><p>Guest: Elizabeth Brobbey, Tacoma Educator and AWSP Aspiring Leader </p><p>Let us know what you’d like to hear us discuss in future episodes by filling out this <a href="https://bit.ly/TAFsurvey">quick survey</a> or by leaving a comment!</p><p>Transcripts and information on today’s episode are available at <a href="http://techaccess.org/podcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">techaccess.org/podcast</a>. </p><p>Questions?

<p>How students are taught is a critical component of education that is often misunderstood. In this episode, we discuss pedagogy, the practice of teaching, and the methodology used to influence children's learning and development. It is essentially the how and why of teaching, a foundational element that can drive all the other components of transforming education. </p><p>We’ll be joined by guests who share their perspectives as students, educators, and coaches on the impact and importance of having a pedagogy that truly centers student voice, choice, and learning. </p><p>Host: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/denisemclean86/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Denise McLean</a>, Director of Professional Learning, Technology Access Foundation </p><p>Guest: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-malesia-britt-5ba964283/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Dr. Malesia Britt</a>, Director of TransformED, Technology Access Foundation </p><p>Guest: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenkwan/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Steven Kwan</a>, TAF Board Member & Former TAF Participant (TTIP) </p><p>Let us know what you’d like to hear us discuss in future episodes by filling out this <a href="https://bit.ly/TAFsurvey">quick survey</a> or by leaving a comment!</p><p>Transcripts and information on today’s episode are available at <a href="http://techaccess.org/podcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">techaccess.org/podcast</a>. </p><p>Questions?
