Equity Leadership Now! Believing In and Inspiring the Potential of All Children (Yvette Jackson)

Show Notes

Equity Leadership Now! hosts conversations with equity-conscious leaders from pre-K through university settings who transform structures and strategies for educating students, particularly for those who are marginalized.

“Equity is about a consciousness. It's about really believing in this innate potential of students and then having everything you do in your school system reflect that belief.”
– Dr. Yvette Jackson

In this episode of Equity Leadership Now!, host Jabari Mahiri speaks with Dr. Yvette Jackson about her work to uplift educators as committed, “gifted” teachers and administrators to support all students in reaching their full potential.

Dr. Jackson shares practical approaches from her book, The Pedagogy of Confidence, which she wrote after many years of research and collaborations with Reuven Feuerstein, the National Urban Alliance (NUA), and many other organizations and colleagues focusing on equity consciousness in the spirit of belief and belonging for all students and educators.
