School Leader**
You are a superintendent or principal and your school is

EP 66: Conducting an Equity Audit 101 - 7 Priority Areas & Guiding Questions
Good day and welcome to episode 66 of The Equity Experience Podcast!
In today’s episode, Dr. Karla is providing some fundamental information about equity audits and how they can be used to address disparities and inequities in school districts.
**What is an equity audit? **
An equity audit is a leadership tool used to collect data for the purpose of identifying the presence and absence of equity within school operations. Equity inquiry assessments identify and analyze barriers that impedefull participation, access, and opportunity for all students to receive an
equitable and excellent education.
In this podcast, I break down why equity audits are important, along with 7 key priority areas that school administrators can focus on when conducting an equity audit. I also share some high-level questions that you can consider as you engage in this evaluation process. The 7 areas that I recommend for conducting equity audits are:
Leadership & Policy
Culture & Climate
Family & Community Engagement
Human Resources
Curriculum & Teaching
District Data with Student Performance Outcomes
Finances, Pay Equity, & Budgeting
Tune in to this episode to learn more information about how these 7 priority areas are foundational when conducting a district-wide equity audit.

EP 65: 5 Media Films to Teach about Racial & Social Justice
Good day and good day! Welcome to another episode of The Equity Experience Podcast!
On today's episode, I'm happy to share with you all five (5) films that I've used in my teaching practices to help students think through topics about race, identity, justice, and advocacy. As a teaching strategy, I think films are powerful tools to promote critical thinking based on the director's interpretation of a topic, the use of visual imagery, and powerful narration and storytelling.
Listen to episode 65 as I share with you five (5) films that you can use in your school district, organization or classroom to have courageous conversations about race, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

EP 63: Reflections on Improving Racial Diversity within Employee HR Practices | Hiring, Retention, & Workplace Inclusion
Welcome to Episode 63 of The Equity Experience Podcast!
A question that I commonly receive from school district leaders is: How do I recruit more teachers of color in my District? How do we diversify our strategy to be more equitable with our hiring practices?
This is always a great question to always ask and consider.
In this podcast, I take a different approach to go a step deeper to discuss the topic of workplace inclusion. This is important as an inclusive workplace environment will help to retain a diverse teaching/leadership staff within a district.
Listen in as I share my thoughts and insight on this topic!
