What is equity? Who is leading the charge in shaping educational equity? How can I get involved? The Equity Everywhere podcast answers these questions and more. Made for educators, this podcast will give you vital resources through conversations with equity leaders across the educational industry.
In this episode, Thom Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer of EdisonLearning, chats with Holly Brzycki, the Supervisor of Online Learning at the Capital Area Intermediate Unit. Holly oversees the Capital Area Online Learning Association (CAOLA), a regional online-learning program for 155 districts, schools, educational programs, and eleven Intermediate Units in Pennsylvania. In their conversation on equity in rural schools, Thom and Holly focus on the issues that rural districts face, such as transportation, access to technology, and governmental funding. These limiting factors, many of which are areas of focus for organizations like Capital Area Intermediate Unit, show that equity goes beyond race and class but addresses individual socioeconomic challenges. The conversation also looks to positive outlooks using online learning. Thom and Holly discuss how programs like micro-credentials, supporting teachers, speech therapy, and special education can be provided to teachers and students through online resources to address gaps in the current education system.
