Episode 69 - Racial Equity Work w/ Joe Truss


Racial Equity Work in Schools w/ Joe Truss - All of the Above Episode 69

Last summer’s uprisings for racial justice spurred a flurry of activity and discussion among educators about how to work towards creating a truly equitable and just school system. Not surprisingly, that energy has largely faded away as schools shifted their attention towards reopening and a return to “normal.” This week we’re joined by principal and racial equity coach Joe Truss to reflect back on a year of racial equity work. What progress has been made? How has resistance manifested? Truss shares his takeaways from a year of leading workshops focused on dismantling white supremacy culture in schools. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a call for civics education reform and a look at how Latinx students fare in suburban school settings.
