There’s Something Wrong…
Policing in schools…
It's the fastest growing area of law enforcement. And it’s a phenomenon that leads to more problems, WAY more, than it solves. As you might imagine, the vast majority of police-related problems happen in schools where the majority of students are culturally and linguistically diverse.
So what can be done? And how can you get involved?
Listen to today’s episode of The Education, Equity, Emancipation Podcast to find out more.

Pale, Male, And Stale…
These words describe the poetry, literature and stories that are forced upon our children.
We live in a nation where the majority of our K-12 students are children of color.
They have few, if any, educational resources that reflect their own cultural identity. And few if any stories of heroes who look like them.
Dr. Berry is on a crusade to do something about it.

Is Our Children’s’ Future Being NAEPalmed?
The National Association of Educational Progress (NAEP) gives us an indication of how our children are doing in the foundational skills of math and reading.
Sadly, it's not looking good. One telling statistic: only 36% of fourth graders are doing well at math.
But it gets even worse.
So what’s causing this crisis? And what should we do to address it?
Dr. Berry gives you her thoughts in today’s episode (LINK to episode 15) of The Education, Equity, Emancipation Podcast.

What To Do About The Epidemic Of School Shootings
Our schools are places we send our children, trusting they will be kept safe. But that is often not the case. Sadly, many of our precious children have been massacred in school shootings. It's easy to resort to cheap excuses and seek surface level solutions. But when we dig deeper, we find that something else is to blame….

About Educational Equity Emancipation
From the publisher's feed
“We have to do better”… That’s Dr. Almitra Berry’s heart-felt answer when asked about educating children from diverse cultural and language backgrounds.
Dr. Berry…
has a strong message for educators and school system leaders who don’t understand that cultural differences can profoundly affect the quality of education these children experience…
“You have children with failing test scores. You have teachers who want to teach but aren’t given the freedom or allowed to use the tools and strategies they need. You have teachers leaving the profession in droves.
And you have tax-paying parents who are very dissatisfied with their children’s education but don’t know how to effect change.”
In other words, our education system has a crisis on its hands. And this crisis affects all of us, not just teachers and those in the educational establishment.
It’s a crisis we must address if we’re going to have an exceptional nation with school systems free of systemic oppression.
We need to take it to heart. We need to act on Dr. Berry’s message. It’s a message she’s deeply passionate about.
As an educator, speaker, and author, she focuses on the education of the most historically marginalized: culturally and linguistically diverse learners.
She has worked diligently for over 30 years to help marginalized learners, learners of color, of linguistic and cultural diversity in low-wealth urban school districts, experience higher academic achievements.
Dr. Berry is on a mission. A mission bigger than herself. A mission to change the conversation happening around the topics of education, equity, and intellectual emancipation for culturally and linguistically diverse learners.
But she can’t do it alone. So she’s looking for leaders to join her. Is that you?
If you’re nodding your head and saying “Yes!” as you read this, we invite you to subscribe and listen to The Educational Equity, Emancipation Podcast.
