All Of The Above Podcast

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.
