Our Guest: Dr. Nicole Evans & Carly Riley
Show Notes
Dr. Nicole Evans and Carly Riley join the podcast to share five goals that can support you in developing the stamina and skills for effective anti-racist learning, awareness, and action in your teaching practice and beyond!
Nicole and Carly see anti-racist education as the lever for social transformation. Through their organization, Embracing Equity, they work alongside educators and leaders to co-create authentically equitable organizations through:
- Individual learning so people themselves raise their knowledge, awareness, and action when it comes to identifying, analyzing and knowing what to do in the face of oppression.
- Interpersonal action because anti-racism work is community-building work, and we have to do it together.
- Institutional transformation in order to create new systems and structures that center equity.
In this episode, Nicole and Carly focus on individual learning – specifically, five anti-racist learning goals you can do RIGHT NOW to build a sustained anti-racism practice in your classroom.
