What the Family Studies?

Welcome to our What the Family Studies? podcast, here to help family studies educators create engaging and valuable learning experiences for their students that will last a lifetime. We will interview those who are passionate about family studies education. Some weeks we will interview a current teacher or professional working in the field who will share their real experiences, insights, and strategies for successful delivery of family studies curriculum. We also want to focus some of our time on your wellness. The last couple of years have been so stressful and your wellness is so important. While we are based in Ontario, we are sure that our podcast will prove helpful and entertaining to teachers in other places too.

Learn, Unlearn, Relearn - Reflecting, Examining and Challenging Anti-Oppression in Family Studies Classrooms

February 07, 2023 • OFSHEEA • Season 1 • Episode 9

In our 9th episode of What the Family Studies? we meet Sharon Gordon. After working as family studies for 15 years, Sharon began a new position as a K-12 Equity Consultant at the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board in January of 2021. In this role, Sharon works with a team of 6 others to support the implementation of the board's Equity Action Plan. During this episode we discuss how we as Family Studies teachers can engage in decolonizing anti-racist, anti-oppressive frameworks within our classrooms and schools. Sharon will also share her experiences working with youth in our schools in the decolonization of education. We will also be given a sneak peak into the work that OFSHEEA has been doing in this area.
