Here is Alli’s list of podcasts for your weekend:

First in Future: Patrick Miller and Brad Wilson

A little more than a year ago a report that was in many ways 25 years in the making came out. Over the course of 287 pages, it recommends a series of changes that the state of North Carolina needs to make to ensure that it meets its constitutional obligation to provide each child a sound basic education. In this episode of First in Future, two members of the Governor’s Commission on access to sound basic education, Patrick Miller and Brad Wilson, discuss the report and actions needed going forward.

Nuestro South Podcast

The Nuestro South Podcast is a five-part podcast series that explores the stories of Latina/o/x people in the U.S. South from the Jim Crow era on through to the present. Join the conversation as the hosts unpack the experience of being Latina/o/x in Nuestro South.

Data Lit

Teachers are inundated with data, but none of those numbers will help if they’re not paired with some accessible and informative data literacy training. This podcast seeks to empower teachers with the skills they’ll need to turn the data given to them into powerful instructional practices.

These are the sources EdNC checks every day: The New York Times, The 74, Education Week, The NC Tribune, The Insider, The News & Observer, The Charlotte Observer, WUNC, WFAE, Brookings, Education Commission of the States, and DPI’s News. A cross section of diverse sources are checked weekly and monthly. If you have an article you think needs to be included, email [email protected].
