What does it mean to have equity in leadership practices? What impact does it have on our schools and our students? In this episode, Dr. L. Oliver Robinson talks about his experiences from over 30 years serving in public education. He helps clarify what equity means and looks like as well as how school leaders can ensure "all students are well."
In this episode, you'll hear about:
- the importance of shared definitions and a commitment to equitable opportunities and outcomes for every student,
- how to examine equity in leadership in four areas: policy, people, practices, and performance, and
- why data should illuminate organizational values and determine whether stated commitments produce parity in performance.
