350: Evolving Classrooms with Dr. LaKimbre Brown


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. LaKimbre Brown, an experienced educational leader and advocate for equity in schools, to explore the ever-changing landscape of education. Dr. Brown shares her insights on how schools are evolving to meet the diverse needs of today’s students, from shifting curriculums to addressing representation in both classrooms and leadership.

We discuss what it means to truly serve “different students with different needs,” how curriculum must adapt to be more inclusive and relevant, and why having educators and materials that reflect the identities of all students matters more than ever. Dr. Brown brings real-world examples, deep wisdom, and a clear call to action for educators, leaders, and communities alike.

Whether you're a teacher, parent, or school leader, this episode will challenge you to rethink what equitable and responsive education should look like in today’s world.
