And these problematic perceptions can be emboldened by policies. I got a chance to talk with Sheldon Eakins to discuss his book Leading Equity: Becoming an Advocate for All Students.

Time for Teachership28. Being Willing to Put Our Jobs On the Line with Dr. Sheldon EakinsRight now, the need for equity training at schools is getting higher, not lower. It's apparent that teachers still haven't built the capacity or habit of doing the work on their own. According to today's guest, Dr. Eakins, the goal is for school members to get all the tools they need to take charge of their own social justice efforts. Tune in to hear us talk about what equity training really involves and why teachers shouldn't assume they don't need it. Want more? Follow me on Instagram: @lindsaybethlyons Liked this episode?
