On this episode of The R.A.G.E. Podcast, host Micaela Parker sits down with Gerardo Muñoz, PhD student at the University of Denver, current Manager of Learning and Development in Denver Public Schools, the 2021 Colorado Teacher of the Year, and educator of twenty-five years. Gerardo Muñoz chronicles his journey as an educator and what teaching has taught him. In this dialogue, the two discuss humanizing practices within education, learning as a form of community healing, and the importance of ethnic studies as a vessel for student empowerment. Our host and guest connect these themes throughout the conversation to contemporary events, such as the recent pandemic and how we truly begin to heal the wounds still visible in our communities and schools.
