Equity in Education - Part 1

In this week’s episode we are diving into a topic that we feel is very timely both globally and educationally. We hope this is the beginning of many conversations where we bring mindful awareness to the topic of equity in education and more specifically how we are thinking and working towards equity in our schools and classrooms. Listen in as we share our own hidden blind spots showing up as we are developing our own awareness.

So hopefully this episode felt supportive and helpful. We would love to hear about what kind of promises you are making to yourself this year. We are wishing you all the space and grace you need to remain in good health, body, mind and spirit. Friends, we‘ve got this!

And lastly, If you are looking to build resilience this year and are interested in our Bite Sized PD offerings discussed on our podcast, shoot over to our website themindfuleducators.com to find the details and sign up.
