TED-Ed Educator Talks's video: Does your curriculum celebrate or suppress student perspectives Chancellor Richard Carranza

Chancellor Richard Carranza is working to ensure that New York City schools celebrate LGBTQ perspectives and give all students the safe spaces they need to discover their identity and share the truest version of themselves. _ Chancellor Richard Carranza believes that we must demonstrate to students — through the literature we read, the language we use, and the way we invest our resources — that they live in a deeply connected society made up of different voices and perspectives. As Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education, Richard works to build environments that encourage students to be who they are, free of judgment and bolstered by love. _ The TED-Ed Educator Talks channel is dedicated to celebrating great ideas in education. Each educator featured on this channel participated in TED Masterclass — a professional learning program that helps people identify, develop and share their ideas with each other... and the world.
