Dismantling Bias and Rethinking Curriculum with Sheldon Eakins | EP 18
In the education profession, equity work can get deeply deffered, or get really messy, really fast. This is because it can reveal so much about professional and personal beliefs that are consequential to our students receiving grade-level, engaging, affirming, and meaningful instruction. 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. Join us as we discuss the the bold, graceful, and practical ways equity can be cultivated in schools.

SmallBites Lagniappe: Critical Race Theory-The Conversation, with Sheldon Eakins (Pt. 2)
What happens when 2 educators get news of a post describing 21 JEDI (justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) terms as Critical Race Theory terms being used to indoctrinate students in K-12 classrooms?

28. Being Willing to Put Our Jobs On the Line with Dr. Sheldon Eakins
Right 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?
