In this episode, Dr. Almitra Berry explores the rich array of December holidays celebrated across the United States and North America. From Christian holidays like Christmas to Jewish Hanukkah, Buddhist Bodhi Day, and secular observances like New Year's Eve, she emphasizes the importance of recognizing and honoring this diversity in our classrooms and schools. Dr. Berry provides three key strategies educators can implement to create inclusive holiday environments, including developing a multicultural calendar, hosting a festival of lights event, and assigning a holiday around the world project. The episode encourages educators to be catalysts for change and share their experiences on the podcast's platforms.

Hi there! I'm Dr. Almitra Berry, but people call me “Doc.”. I'm an educator, author, consultant, and podcast host with a passion for making our schools work better for all students.

Over my 30-year career in education, I've gathered a wealth of experiences and insights that I love sharing. My work focuses on educational equity, especially for culturally and linguistically diverse learners in urban school districts.

I've written professional learning books, consulted with school districts across the country, and spoken at numerous conferences. But what I enjoy most is connecting with people who care about improving education for marginalized learners.

On my podcast, I enjoy having meaningful conversations about education. I bring a mix of expertise, real-world stories, and a touch of humor to discussions on topics like curriculum reform, leadership in education, creating inclusive classrooms, and the politics of education.
