This week Jerod, Deanna, and Doug talk about "wokeness" and as usual also get diverted to many other topics around equity. We enjoyed this conversation that center primarily around feelings as our facts this week were inconsistent at best. Hope you enjoy hearing us as much as we enjoyed this conversation together. Just trying to grow in the equity space.
@Inclusion_Coach joined us for a spirit conversation on everything special ed. She also has a new program she is starting, which she speaks to at the end. Great conversation in the lounge about what she wishes Special Education could be for all students. Keep it human.

We had moments in this podcast where we just had a lot of fun. A celebration, we talk over each other, the recording is at moments sketchy, but no way know of how to fix it. There are so many truths here in this conversation. We talk AP of the year, clothes, Spades, hair, white rappers, and embracing who you are.....
In a moment where everything is hard, this conversation left us smiling for days.
We do not claim to the be experts on any topic. We also are only sharing our thoughts as they come out in a recording without edits. Please keep that in mind. Please follow us and enjoy! We try to have fun, make jokes, and talk about serious subjects that are hard to talk about. In this episode our featured favorite guest is in attendance! Stephen!
This week we interviewed Jennifer Boynton. She is a Kindergarten teacher from California. Unfortunately it cut cut short at about 18 minutes. SORRRY! It was such a great episode, we hope to have her back soon. Take from this what you can!
We catch up with such an inspirational leader and educonnector! We talk Edumatch, deficit mindset, tokenism, and a few other things!

Deanna, Doug, and Jerod tell us who they would want to vacation with and where, plus...
White Backlash - White backlash (portmanteau whitelash) or white rage (sometimes white rage backlash) is the negative response of some white people to the racial progress of other ethnic groups in rights and opportunities, their growing cultural parity, political self-determination or dominance.
Action Bias - The action bias describes our tendency to favor action over inaction, often to our benefit. However, there are times when we feel compelled to act, even if there's no evidence that it will lead to a better outcome than doing nothing would.
