Description

This week's episode is an absolute must-listen!

In this episode, Dr. Bobby White of Frayser Community School discusses how their school took a bolder approach to education, launched an anti-racism initiative, and ended expulsion by changing disciplinary practices, encouraging parental involvement, and becoming a trauma-informed school.

This is because he believes that your purpose as an educator should be aligned with your work in order to create a better environment that leads to higher academic performance.
