Hi Kid: What Are Teachers Taught?
Featuring: Doing the Work, Records Access Denial, and the Origins of Gender Theory
LET’S TALK ABOUT IT…
What Are Teachers Taught?
Poudre School District and Colorado State University are tightly connected. The two influential organizations are among the top employers in Larimer County and they formalized their partnership with an agreement in 2018. According to the agreement, “PSD will provide teaching, learning and service opportunities for CSU students through interactions with the district’s students.”
PSD has also named CSU one of its Top Hiring Partners, according to a “Diversity in Hiring “ presentation provided to the PSD Board of Education on January 24, 2023. PSD’s recognition of CSU’s excellence is further demonstrated in the presentation when PSD lists CSU as one of “the best education preparation programs” in their pipeline of staff recruitment.
This made us wonder just what made CSU’s education preparation program so spectacular. We were curious about what topics and themes PSD’s CSU hires have studied.
We were surprised to learn that an upper level class in CSU’s education curriculum requires a textbook titled, “Do the Work! An Antiracist Activity Book” by W. Kamau Bell and Kate Schatz.
