As part of an 8-part "Thought Leader" podcast series, join our conversation with Valeria Brown (PD Manager/Facilitator for Teaching Tolerance, Board of Trustee Member for Learning Forward, and Founder of Clear the Air) as we unpack the implications of social justice teaching in public education. Listen to Val's enlightening, disarming, and personal narrative, as she helps educators navigate the complexities of equity in education. For those who may want to extend the conversation evoked by the podcast, the following facilitation guide (https://bit.ly/36EjSjo) has been developed to help with next steps in deepening the shared learning. This series is brought to you in collaboration with Learning Forward, the only professional association devoted exclusively to establishing and sustaining highly effective professional development for educators.
