Episode 58: Aled Anaya, Orange Glen High School

Aled 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.
