The first interview in a small series titled Why So Fragile? Equity, Justice and deconstructing the White Lens.  

Listen as I speak with Jon Cowart about what it means to be a white teacher within an urban environment, and how we can better serve our students as we deconstruct our whiteness and better understand our own implicit bias. We also discuss the topic of white fragility and how to confront it. To wrap it all up, Jon shares his journey of becoming a language teacher, and then into admin as an AP. Enjoy!
