    EP 67: 3 Ways to Jumpstart Your Equity Journey in 2024

    **3 Ways to Jumpstart Your Equity Journey in 2024 as a
    School Leader**

     

    You are a superintendent or principal and your school is
    making an unapologetic commitment to focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion.  You all have had conversations about what this work may look like, you all have received approval from your Board members to move forward and the excitement and energy
    is there, in full effect.

    However, you may not know exactly how you should move
    forward.  How do you “start” DEI? Where
    do you begin? What are the first steps to be taken?



    In this podcast, I’ll share with you three action steps you
    and your leadership team can take in order to start your equity journey.

    EP 66: Conducting an Equity Audit 101 - 7 Priority Areas & Guiding Questions

    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

    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 64: Addressing Disproportionality, Root Cause Analysis, & Educational Equity w/Dr. Kris DeFilippis

    Good day and good day! Welcome to episode 64 of The Equity Experience Podcast!

    In this podcast, we have a conversation with Dr. Kris DeFilippis about the topics of  disproportionality and root cause analysis. One of the common concerns for people committed to educational equity work is resolving disproportionalities.  Dr. Kris does a great job of explaining how disproportionality manifests within schools, along with suggesting resources for school leaders to consider in doing disproportionality work.

    We explore the following the topics:


    Defining disproportionality and the importance of this concept
    The relationship between disproportionality and educational equity/inequity
    Ways that school leaders may identify disproportionalities within school data
    Strategies and resources for school leaders who are intentional about remedying disproportionalities

    Dr. Kris also suggests the following book titles as additional resources: 


    The Person You Mean to Be: How Good People Fight Bias by Dolly Chugh
    Race Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence: Understanding and Facilitating Difficult Dialogues on Race  by Derald Wing Sue
    Leadership on the Line: Staying Alive Through the Dangers of Leading by Marty Linsky and Ronald Heifetz
    An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization by Robert Kegan, Lisa Laskow Lahey, & Matthew Miller 
    Learning in a Burning House: Educational Inequality, Ideology, and (Dis)Integration by Sonya Douglass Horsford

    EP 63: Reflections on Improving Racial Diversity within Employee HR Practices | Hiring, Retention, & Workplace 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!
