If you’re engaged in the crucial undertaking of dismantling racial injustice and creating equity within a school system, you’ve probably used the phrase, “doing the work.” Yet, what does the work actually look like? How do you know if you’re doing it? How do you know if you’re doing the right work? 

Please listen to moderator and 2010 CCSSO National Teacher of the Year, Sarah Brown Wessling, as she leads an important discussion with three former national and state Teachers of the Year on how our nation’s students deserve and receive access to transformative, equitable education. Please join teaching experts Sydney Chaffee, the 2017 National Teacher of the Year; Shawn Sheehan, the 2016 Oklahoma Teacher of the Year; and Dr. Richard Warren, Jr., the 2019 Maryland State Teacher of the Year, as they examine promoting equity from leaders who are immersed in the important, daily work inside the nation’s classrooms. Join these four distinguished educators as they offer both practical advice and incisive perspective on what it means to lead for equity throughout a school system. 

This edWeb podcast is of particular value to school superintendents, K-12 school and district leaders, and aspiring leaders.

Since mid-March 2020, our daily routines have been ruled by a public health crisis unlike anything most of us have seen. We feel frustrated, annoyed, overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. The normality in education has been shattered, and while COVID-19 has been the catalyst for the process, the changes both inside and outside of education have been constant over the last 20 years. The realities of COVID-19, economic uncertainty and emphasis on systemic racism and inequities have brought school districts across the United States to a crossroads. Systems must learn to adapt with a future-focused vision and an ability to apply innovative principles and processes to their work. We are not powerless in this challenge; we must be the ones to act. 

In this edWeb podcast, Ray McNulty shares strategies and practices helpful to the challenges that leaders, educators and students are facing. Schools and districts have never been more challenged in supporting the needs of students while navigating a world that is Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA). One school district leading the way is Middletown Public Schools in Connecticut, led by Dr. Michael Conner whose focus on building trust has enabled movement throughout the system. His emphasis has been centered on several important strategies, polarity management, professional learning, systemic agility and many others. Action by leaders matters more now than ever before, and just because the future is uncertain, it doesn’t mean you can’t influence it.

Petersburg City Public Schools Superintendent, Dr. Maria Pitre-Martin, leads staff, parents and community members to answer one important essential question, “What would you want for every child?” Petersburg City Public Schools is an urban school district located near Richmond, Virginia with approximately 4,100 students. Though the school district has 75.26% of students who are considered economically disadvantaged, the school district does not see that as a barrier to access and opportunities for students. During this edWeb podcast,  hear about resources that have been provided to students and their families so that the “playing field” is leveled for in-school and at-home instruction. Also hear about the process used to ensure that high school graduates have a high school diploma and a “plus.” The goal of the Diploma Plus Initiative for Petersburg City Public Schools is to increase access to high-demand career pathways, to remove barriers to postsecondary success and to positively impact the area’s workforce development initiative. 

Essential questions include:

• What do students need in their homes to support their learning and how do districts leverage resources to meet those needs? 
• How do school districts ensure students are receiving access and support that they did not have before the pandemic? 
• Why is working with the community essential to finding missing pieces in student learning, filling the gaps, and celebrating student success? 

This edWeb podcast is of particular value to school superintendents, K-12 school and district leaders, and aspiring leaders.
