In this episode, we discussed equity considerations for all students as we plan to reimagine school. This episode featured Dr. John Marshall, Chief Equity Officer of Diversity, Equity, and Poverty in Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) Kentucky. 

Disclaimer: technology issues made some of this audio a little inaudible at times. The questions we asked were the most difficult to understand. So, we've listed them below to try and help. We apologize for the technology error!

  1. As leaders begin to reimagine schools what are some of the first things they need to think about or do as it relates to equity?
  2. How do we make sure systems and structures are equitable for all students?
  3. What are some things you see leaders doing that they think are supporting students of color but in actuality are further marginalizing students of color?
  4. We know how important it is to talk about race with staff and students.  We also know that it can be hard to know where to start, especially as a white administrator.  What advice do you have for building leaders to support their staff in this task?  What advice do you have for teachers to support their students with this task?
  5. We recently talked with Heather Warrell, who was a previous guest, and she used the terms bold and unapologetic when discussing the moral imperative of reimagining schools. She told us she was inspired by your continuous use of these terms. Talk to us a little bit about what these terms mean to you and why fearless leadership is so important as the Chief Equity Officer.
  6. As leaders continue their work with equity, what are some of your favorite resources?
  7. Knowing what you know now as Chief Equity Officer, what advice would you give John Marshall as a new leader?
  8. What are three words that others who know you would use to describe you?
