Abel Macias@creatureteacher @culturayskate cultura-y-skate.comAbel Macias is a long-time friend from our days in undergrad at San Diego State University. We grew up in the same neighborhood of East San Diego (nice people call it "City Heights") but we wouldn't cross paths until the mid 90s at SDSU. We start by discussing his experience in education at Horace Mann Junior and Crawford High, and then how his path to being a professor was anything but linear. He currently teaches Chicano and Chicana Studies at San Diego City Community College and San Diego State University. We also also discuss his passion for skating and how that lead to him launching a skate brand, Cultura y Skate. Tune for a robust discussion on skateboards, gangs, higher education and indigenous struggle.Shoutout @resist_edu for the assist on sound, video and cohost duties.Shoutout @profile784 for the head-nodding intro and outro music. Hit him up for super dope beats and graphics.Shoutout to the EG Fam: @mcasas7 @mr_ayyy

Episode 58: Aled Anaya, Orange Glen High SchoolAled Anaya is a phenomenal artist that has the good fortune to teach students in the same neighborhood and district that he grew up in, Escondido, CA. The son of immigrant parents, Aled details his own struggles with school and how his graphic design course helped shape him into the educator he is today. Aled balances producing amazing art of his own and growing a CTE Graphic Arts program at Orange Glen High School. We get into a rich discussion about the value of a robust CTE program, and how to engage students that find creativity late in their schooling. A self-proclaimed hip-hop head, we ask Aled to give us his Top 5 MC's. He gave us "a baker's dozen". Hence, the subtitle of the episode.

Episode 56 is timely and critical for our students, as we dive into the history and work that has shaped Ethnic Studies in California. Dr. Theresa Montaño and Dr. Guillermo Gomez have been putting in the work for an Ethnic Studies curriculum since 2007. We cover the basics of what Ethnic Studies is, what it should look like in our schools, and why our students have needed this curriculum for decades. The State Board of Education recently accepted a very "watered down" version of ES curriculum due to push back from some very powerful forces, and our guests do not shy away from discussing how this happened. Because the SBE has diluted and co-opted this hard work, Montaño and Gomez discuss ways that teachers and districts can move forward with a liberated Ethnic Studies curriculum. This is a critical listen for any educator or community member that would like to bring this curriculum to a local school district.

Dr. Partida is a dear family friend and one of the most personable doctors in the game. When the world went on quarantine, we knew we had to get Carmen on the show. She asked that we wait a few months until we really had a grasp on just how menacing this virus could be. 9 months later, we got her to record. We get into her origin story, talk about what she has seen in the emergency rooms during the pandemic, and her work in other locales. Do we ask her about the safety of reopening schools and the vaccine? Of course we do. This was such an enlightening episode. The pride of Castle Park High, Dr. Carmen Partida.

Episode 53 - Marianna VinsonHailing from humbled beginnings in Chula Vista, CA, Marianna Vinson has a played several key roles in education. Currently an executive director somewhere very local to the podcast, she has been an elementary teacher, principal, consultant, and a Deputy Director in the Obama Dept of Ed. We’re not gonna lie, we wanted to get some of that tea out of her, because we know she’s seen a lot, but Marianna is extremely kind and professional. There’s a lot of good information here for our listeners who would like to affect education in different arenas. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Cristina is the Assemblywoman for Assembly District 58, which serves several cities in southeast Los Angeles. The Educated Guess reached out to Asm. Garcia because she is not only a fierce advocate for her constituents, but she’s also a former high school math teacher. Her calling to politics was simple. Elected officials from her hometown of Bell Gardens were corrupt. If there is one way to characterize Cristina Garcia, it’s that she does not take her office for granted. You will hear a story of that covers a love of Education and fearless activism. We hope you enjoy the episode. Twitter: @czareff | @resist_edu | @edguesspodcast | @cgarcia_ca

EP052 - Jesus CardenasAt some point, teachers and students need to realize their political capitol. There has to be a model of engagement for young people. Jesus Cardenas has organized in that arena, and his stories are abundant. We go from his origin story in Tijuana and Chula Vista, to his sweep as an campaign organizer during this election cycle. Episode 52 is a fellowship. From student newspaper to political organizer. Step into the arena.

Season 6 | Episode 048 | Parker EdisonParker Edison is local to the podcast. He's a beyond dope creative. A multimedia artist. We talk education, hip hop, and movies. This episode got lost amongst the turmoil of 2020 and the pandemic, and was actually recorded in December 2019. His catchphrase is "Google me", since you can find his many projects with a simple search. Please check out Parker Meridian and Elephants in the Room. It's amazing to be back. Enjoy the show.@kackjing@parkermeridian@czareff@educatedguesspodcast

We decided to reach out to students from the Class of 2020 to get their experiences of learning and living during the COVID quarantine. This wasn’t our normal trash talking sort of episode, as we really just wanted the raw, real words from students about distance learning, lack of social events, and any successes or struggles they’ve had during this time. They gave advice to the upcoming Class of 2021, and some words of wisdom for teachers in regards to distance learning. Thank you to the students of Southwest High, Bonita Vista High, and Otay Ranch High. We wish you the best as you move on to your next journey. ✌️Twitter: @edguesspodcast | @czareff | @don_dumas | @mr_rodriguez23 | @bohemiangrace IG: @educatedguesspodcast | @czareff | @boemiangrace | @dmdmas | @joel_rodriguez76 #distancelearning #educatorpodcast #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #educatorsofinstagram #classof2020 #classof2020strong

Fam. We cannot say enough about Dr. Rob Ruvalcaba from San Diego City Community College. This man pedagogy is the epitome of Hip Hop Ed in practice. Dr. Rob brings math concepts to life through hip hop music and connects with students in a real way. He also brings students into the community space by inviting them to work on assignments while he spins records at venues, as Dj Professor Shadow. We were honored that he gave us the time to share his music and approach to education. Dr. Rob. You heard him here first on the Educated Guess Podcast.@professorshadow | @czareff | @resist_edu
