Episode 8: In this bonus episode, we share our thoughts, fears, and hopes about working toward racial equity in education during this phase of school reopening as the Covid-19 pandemic has killed over 500,000 Americans.
We talk about reopening schools in a pandemic and addressing racial equity during these times. We address the inequities in how pandemic has affected Black and brown communities, how school leaders can work through racial justice and trauma...and we muse about what this means for schools, children, teachers, and school leaders.
We also talk about engaging student voice during this time, and what we are looking forward to with the return to school - including not having to clean up after our kids 24/7 and also feeling like humans again instead of bedraggled parents!
We reference the resources listed below. Some of our liberation lessons include being well yourself to be your best self with others, listening to young people, planning with flexibility in mind, and focusing on building relationships with students.
