“You’ve built racism into your practices, and now we need to dismantle them.”

“I don’t care what governing structure you have. I just care about good schools.”

It’s an Operations Reunion! On this week’s episode, I am joined by my former coworker and current educational leader Aila McCants! From her tracking elementary school GATE program in California, to falling in love with her HBCU Spelman College (as soon as she stepped into the parking lot!), and beginning her career in Boston, we discuss how her perspective has grown over the years. Are charter schools helpful or harmful? What are the best ways to train educators? How can administrators create policies that support Black students? Join us as we talk about barriers packaged as solutions, the ugly impact of integration, and the beautiful tapestry of the Black diaspora.
