Episode 15 - PRIORITIZING PRINCIPLES THE PRINCIPAL'S PERSPECTIVE WITH HENRY TURNER

Every kid, every day. Sound familiar? Across the country, many, if not most, schools ascribe to some variation of this educational principle. Kids are at the heart of our work as educators. And though we are united in our intention to encourage and enhance learning for ALL students, efforts to establish equitable learning environments have been piecemeal at best, and more often, have exacerbated division. Dr. Henry Turner, parent, principal, anti-racist educator, and unabashed student advocate, is not one to shy away from stirring things up. Impassioned and committed to empowering voice and agency, Henry challenges us to be better educators, better parents, and better humans by focusing our perspectives through others’ lenses, reminding us that learning -- no matter our age -- includes vulnerability, discomfort, and empathy.
