Equity-focused leadership focuses on entry to leadership specifically in school systems but this conversation is applicable across sectors!

Jennifer Cheatham is a senior lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education on education and co-chair of the Public Education Leadership Project, and the faculty co-chair of the Education, Leadership, Organizations and Entrepreneurship (ELOE) Program. Jennifer’s focus has been on leading for equity and transformational change in urban school districts.

In this episode, we talk about how Jen became interested specifically in equity-focused leadership, what that means for her and then we get into some specific details and examples of what equity focused leaders do, how they engage with their communities, and what is important for entry to leadership in polarizing times.
