Welcome to the Miss Education podcast where I educate myself on all things related to social justice, healing, education (in all forms), personal life, policies, and the world. It's a place where we get to dissect challenges, and futuristic ideas too!
This episode is a recording of my presentation session titled “Reviving Black History: Decolonizing Ontario Curriculums.” The Ontario Alliance of Black School Educators (ONABSE) Annual conference was such a joy to be a part of. I am sharing the recording of my presentation in hopes that you find something to take from my presentation! The discussion was rich, and I am so glad that people took something away from my lesson and presentation.

Equity-Focused Leadership with Harvard Professor Jen Cheatham
Equity-focused leadership focuses on entry to leadership specifically in school systems but this conversation is applicable across sectors!
Jennifer Cheatham is a senior lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education on education and co-chair of the Public Education Leadership Project, and the faculty co-chair of the Education, Leadership, Organizations and Entrepreneurship (ELOE) Program. Jennifer’s focus has been on leading for equity and transformational change in urban school districts.
In this episode, we talk about how Jen became interested specifically in equity-focused leadership, what that means for her and then we get into some specific details and examples of what equity focused leaders do, how they engage with their communities, and what is important for entry to leadership in polarizing times.

Part 1: What are you learning about yourself as a teacher in different contexts? w/Jaiman
This is a two-part episode! It was so difficult to title today's episode because one sentence does not cover our introspective musings around teaching and education in this episode.
Jaiman, a leadership consultant, and former teacher talks about his background as a musician, and his roots as a teacher in what he now sees as "adult teaching" (aka consulting). His leadership facilitation and consulting takes him around the world and we think about how our students have formed us into the people we are today.

What will it take to change education? w/Arnelle Jones
Sit tight for today’s episode! There was no holding back in our conversation about education, school systems, government, and the community’s role in bringing education to a better place. What is it going to take to change education? The answers in this episode were all over the place in the best way. The answer may have less to do with the education sector than we think.
Some questions we considered are as follows:
What was schooling in its inception has it changed today in its purpose?
How do the other public sectors of society directly affect and respond to the education sector?
What do we understand about teenagers in schools, what drives them?
What lies have Gen Z seen in pursuing careers that have led their trajectory differently than ours?
How involved should the community be in public education?
