How can we create a truly inclusive, equitable classroom where every student feels seen, valued, and supported? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jarri Goodman, an educator, faculty coach, and advocate for equity in education, to explore the real barriers students of color face—and the powerful role teachers play in breaking them down.
We discuss how to move beyond surface-level representation, address implicit bias, and create culturally responsive learning environments where all students can thrive. Plus, Dr. Goodman shares his own personal experiences as a student and educator, highlighting the transformative impact that just one teacher can have.
In this episode, Dr. Goodman and I discuss...
- How to incorporate diverse voices and experiences into everyday lessons.
- The impact of implicit bias—and how to recognize and challenge it.
- Practical ways to strengthen relationships with students and their families.
