To kick off Black History Month, The Whole Student podcast host Kal Balaven talks with Zaretta Hammond, an educator and the author of "Culturally Responsive Teaching and The Brain: Promoting Authentic Engagement and Rigor Among Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students." Zaretta's journey as a student was heavily influenced by her cultural and class perspective, growing up poor as one of few Black students in an affluent and predominantly white and Asian-American school. The teachers who impacted her most were those who saw beyond those differences and pushed her to level up — to break through the predefined labels placed on her by others and even herself.
