In order to operationalize equity mindsets and social justice teaching in our classrooms, we have to know history. As part of our "Equity Thought Leader" podcast series, join our conversation with Principal Baruti Kafele (International Speaker, Transformational Leader, and ASCD Author) as he shares his insights on equity, social justice education, and equity-mindset teaching. Listen to Principal Kafele as he unpacks the critical role that understanding history plays in equity work, and how it threads the past to recent events in the nation’s capital. For those who may want to extend the learning evoked by the podcast, the following facilitation guide (https://bit.ly/3cocZIa) 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.
