Issues Now

A podcast to discuss issues of equity in education

[Issues Now @issues_now]

Today's episode is very timely as we wrap up our our series From History to Healing and discuss how to approach conversations of social injustice and diversity. While yesterday's decision was a step towards justice- there is still much healing to happen.

Hey listeners! I know I’ve been MIA- this whole becoming a principal during a pandemic has been interesting. But this email I received this morning was just what I needed to remind myself of how important my podcast is… I’m coming back soon! @CCSEquity

This afternoon, Gov. Cooper vetoed HB 324. To read more about why we believe this legislation would have limited difficult and robust classroom conversations about our nation’s complicated past and the systemic inequities that persist today, read our statement 👇 #nced

Equity in education can’t be achieved unless we are willing to acknowledge disparities made evident by data & students’ lived experiences…and to take ownership of our vital role in being part of the solution.

Progress is not achieved by staying in comfort zones.

I’m excited to say that I’ll be the new AIG consultant/AP coordinator at CFHS & E.E. Smith! While words can’t express how much I’ll miss the classroom, I’m thrilled to join the AIG family and make an impact at these two amazing schools in my new role. @eesmithhigh @WeAreCapeFear

Many of you will recall I was on a White House Education Equity panel a few weeks ago. Some of you told me that you unfortunately couldn't get connected. Well here's the video of the full program. My panel begins at 16:00. Take a look.

"...U.S. Ed. Secretary Miguel Cardona made the case to school leaders on Tuesday that building a diverse teaching force should be a key component of pandemic recovery efforts." This aligns with our #TopTenIssue around Teacher Recruitment. #NCed

Love that we have a Secretary of Education that gets it!

Pride is about listening to our LGBTQ+ students and working to make classrooms safe and welcoming places for them. #pride

Banning the teaching of systemic racism is actually a perfect example of systemic racism.
