New MSU Denver program aims to train more male educators of color

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:58:16 GMT

Every time the three educators-in-training leave Denver’s Green Valley Elementary School, students ask when they will be back.They invite the three men to basketball practice and games. The students get excited to see them during special events like Trunk-or-Treat — and not just because they give big handfuls of candy.In short, Joshua Barringer, Christopher Livingston, and Jordan Puch have become very popular. That may be in part because Green Valley students — most of whom are Black and Hispanic — often don’t get to interact with Black male teachers like Barringer, Livingston, and Puch.“They love us. They always want to come up to us and give us a hug,” Barringer said. “It’s just amazing how the kids click with us and we only got here but so long ago.”Read more at Chalkbeat Colorado.Chalkbeat is a nonprofit news site covering educational change in public schools.Get more Colorado news by signing up for our Mile High Roundup email newsletter.Related ArticlesEducation | ...

The Return of Calamity Cameron

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:58:16 GMT

David Cameron? Remember him? The honest answer for many in the EU leadership would be “How could we ever forget him; however hard we have tried”. Yes, the man who subjected the European Council to an extended period when he seemed to think the UK’s concerns were the only subject they should ever consider is back. What should they make of the former Prime Minister’s appointment as Britain’s Foreign Secretary, asks Political Editor Nick Powell.His interminable whinges over dinner in Brussels enabled David Cameron to claim that the European Council had listened to Britain’s concerns, even as the rest of the EU28 kept other issues at the top of their agenda. He himself referred to the Council meetings as “another day in paradise”. An example perhaps of the famed British sense of humour as he turned mealtimes into hell.It was all in vain of course. He bizarrely thought that telling the voters back home he was in a constant struggle with those beastly continentals would somehow persuade h...
