Show Notes

We speak with José Luis Jiménez, principal of A.C.E. Academy for Scholars, PS 290, in Queens. A queer educator of color, he came out to his students during Pride Month in 2017. If a community is truly welcoming to all, he thought, “you don’t “check a part of yourself at the door.” José encourages his teachers to design cohesive and culturally-responsive project-based curricula. He is a Deeper Learning Equity Fellow.
