In this brief solo episode, Jen unpacks new learning that she has gleaned from the Courageous Conversations training: Beyond Diversity. She shares insights and ideas for educators to continue to do this work and specifically speaks to her role as a white educator and the importance of white educators showing up for the work by naming their identities and recognizing the role that they play in systemic racism. She also discusses ways that schools can create Equity Teams to move from reflection to action. This courageous conversation is the first of many, but it is one that is worth listening to for those who want to see our schools be more equitable and safe places for all children and adults alike.
