Shane Safir and Jamila Dugan talk on the Cult of Pedagogy Podcast about what schools have done historically to address equity gaps, why those efforts have largely failed, and why their approach is far more effective.
We were privileged to learn from a diverse group of teachers, administrators, former leadership students, and other professionals in the field. Our hope was not, per se, to generate a book of best practices culled from the most successful, most accomplished justice-centering leaders out there (although we do, we are happy to report, get to recount many promising strategies and approaches!). Rather, we were interested in learning from leaders across the widest possible range of perspectives, identities, experiences, roles, geographies, and ways of knowing that we could at the time.
