Episode 43: Silver Moore
Today, our guest is Silver Moore. Silver is an educator, indigenous Detroiter, and the founder and executive director of Classroom Clapback. Through Classroom Clapback, Silver seeks to clapback at a system of miseducation by developing relevant and rigorous curricula and providing culturally relevant professional development for educators. As an abolitionist educator and Golden Apple Award recipient, she believes her work is justice work and that to be an educator, you must also be an activist. Her work is grounded in the belief that #BlackChildGenius is alive and well. That Black children are inherently valuable, and the liberation of their minds, bodies, and spirits is a necessity, not an adjunct, to their education. Silver has served as an elementary and middle classroom teacher, an Instructional Coach, and the Program Director of the Spirit of Detroit Award recipient, SDM2 Project Education. She maintains a commitment to creating educational spaces within and beyond the classroom walls that cultivates tenacious joy, shapes stubborn hope, and promotes a sense of wonder for Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
