On today's episode I speak with Jovan Denaut, our equity leader here in Cumberland County about the plans that CCS has for the upcoming school years to begin addressing equity and working toward our vision in the CCS Strategic Plan. "Every student will have equitable access to engaging learning that prepares them to be competitive, collaborative, and successful in our global world."

On today’s episode we will be wrapping up our series entitled From History to Healing with a conversation with several educators in Cumberland County on how to address issues of social justice and diversity in the classroom. We will hear from various perspectives including a beginning elementary school teacher to a district curriculum specialist and everything in between.

To hear more on my perspective of this issue, join me and several equity leaders from around the state for a panel through NCSU School of Education on May 5 at noon. Registration Link
