Get to know the hosts! In this first episode, Valentin Escañuela and Dr. Deborah Hernandez share their "why" and provide an overview of the podcast. Join us as we explore systemic equity challenges and discuss innovative approaches to bring about change. In each episode, we will explore complexities of achieving equity in education, addressing topics such as how to measure impact, using asset-based mindsets, and pursuing a student's sense of belonging. We will engage with experts, educators, and those who dedicate their lives in breaking down barriers and creating a more equitable system for all.
