Calling school leaders — your students can change the world.

Описание: I didn’t enter the field of education just to teach quadratic equations or literary analysis. I came to make a difference.

And I believe school leaders are in a unique position to create schools that prepare the next generation to build a better world.

That’s why I was so excited to talk about the book Educating for Justice: School-Wide Strategies to Prepare Students to Recognize, Analyze, and Challenge Inequity.

Authors Scott Seider, Aaliyah El-Amin, and Julia Bott created a four-part framework for helping schools systematically prepare students to recognize, analyze, and challenge injustice — in every grade, every classroom, and every content area.

Listen as we discuss those four parts to consider what you might bring back to your own school.
