Customer Reviews
I love this podcast!
What an amazing opportunity to learn more about equitable education. As a future educator, I have absolutely loved listening to so many people who care about creating a world where every individual has access to what they need to learn. What they have to say is so important, and it’s especially interesting to hear their messages through real conversations.
Awesome
This conversation is very much needed in light of everything that is happening more and more. Congratulations to my daughter in law for opening up this dialogue. I enjoyed hearing how some of the educators of Cumberland County is involved in programs of equity there. Thanks to you all. Excellent podcast. I subscribed and can’t wait for the next interview.
