Welcome to The Hello Frequency, My Dear Listeners: I am your host, Caya.

In this thought-provoking episode, Nishhza and I explore educational methods that emphasise understanding and compassion, focusing on #CriticalPedagogy and #CriticalEmpathy. With Nishhza’s expertise as a high school teacher, we discuss how educators can cultivate empathy through critical thinking and reflective teaching practices that are rooted in community values, uplifting #TransChlidren #PeopleOfColour, including #QueerPeopleOfColour. We also explore topics like #FindingCommunity, #SharedUnderstandings, and #TheValueOfFriendships, while recognising the impact of #DarkHistories and #DiasporasFrozenInTime, as well as the challenges stemming from inadequate support for school teachers.

Our conversation highlights #TheImportanceOfUnderstandingContext, embracing #NonBinaries, and the power of #HoldingASafeSpaceForChildren. We emphasise the necessity of #HoldingMultipleTruthsSimultaneously to promote humanity and justice for all. This episode underscores the need to #BetterSupportForTeachers, fostering educational environments that nurture emotional intelligence and social justice. Join us for this expansive and insightful discussion.

Happy listening!
