  • Summary

  • In this episode, we introduce our new and first podcast series–The Need for Revival: Reviving Equity and Culturally Responsive Teaching in Schools. In 2020, when Derick Chauvin murdered George Floyd, school districts responded by hiring equity coaches, providing antiracism training, and offering strategies for culturally responsive teaching. Inspired to take action, many educators joined Facebook groups and other social media platforms aimed at designing culturally meaningful and equitable practices. Motivated by the time, educators worked during the summer on equity efforts without pay to prepare for the school year. Now, in 2024, school districts cannot pay some teachers enough to engage with equity work; some educational leaders have decided not to use the word “equity” in their language as a strategy to get teachers to attend meetings related to diversity, equity, and inclusion; and teachers who were fired up to engage with equity and culturally responsive teaching in 2020 now work in isolation in their classrooms apart from equity teams and communities. What has happened since 2020? What has caused teachers to become jaded with equity efforts? In this podcast episode, I discuss what happened. I introduce our first podcast series aimed at helping equity directors, coaches, and leaders, in general, revive equity efforts in their buildings. If you want to enhance your equity efforts in your building, you DO NOT want to miss this series! Learn how this series will help you revive equity and culturally responsive teaching in your buildings. We need a real revival!
