Rethinking Intervention with Dr. Gholdy Muhammad

Dr. Gholnecsar (Gholdy) Muhammad is an associate professor of language and literacy at Georgia State University, where she serves as the director of the Urban Literacy Collaborative and Clinic. She is the author of the 2020 book “Cultivating Genius: An Equity Framework for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy.”
Dr. Muhammad spoke to Emily Freitag and Nicole Knight-Justice about five pursuits for teaching and learning that can serve as a guide for structuring education today: identity, skill development, intellectualism, criticality, and joy.

Good questions and discussion! One piece of feedback I have is to maybe mute your mic while someone else is speaking. I found the frequent "mhms" really distracting! Thank you!

The parents never agreed to these teachings. How do we get around them when they speak out?

Dr Gholdy rocks. Amen!!!! Dr. Cardona is definitely a step in the right direction. He will mandate justice!!!!

Education has become so political

[@mrc9953]

Education should not be political, ever. This is why parents are pulling kids away from these teachers and putting them in Charter schools.

Those Mhmms with how frequent they are really make it sound like you want her to stop talking rather than acknowledging what she is saying 🤪

So many Ahas !! Amen!!
