This month on our radio show, listen to a discussion about equity issues in education, and ideas about what’s needed to support individual students and create systemic changes. Our host Jim Williams – a trustee of the Community Foundation and Dean Emeritus of University Libraries at CU Boulder – will be joined by Dr. Kathy Escamilla, a professor at the CU Boulder School of Education, and project director of the BUENO Center for Multicultural Education. Her research centers on educational issues related to Spanish-speaking minority students in U.S. schools.
