Show Notes

Samantha Greenleaf, a Texas educator and administrator, joins Sara to discuss the urgent need for all educators to teach with an anti-racist lens. They discuss how racism affects students of color on a systemic level and the power to reverse these negative trends through collective knowledge building, advocacy inside and beyond the classroom and outreach to the community. They also shine a light on Educators In Solidarity, a non-profit that convenes educators in the central Texas region in the fight for institutional change.
