Starting Some Good Trouble (Episode 10)

Host, Dr. Chatmon, speaks with educator and social critic, Tony Clark, about his work empowering our families and communities to start some good trouble as they learn how to advocate for their children’s best interest and blow the system up from the inside. From reasons beyond the scope of show notes, there is a documented difference in the relationship with schools that Black and brown families have as compared to their white and Asian counterparts. The two discuss how educators, administrators especially, can build capacity in their school communities as we all do the work to improve this thing called school.
