Dismantling White Supremacy Culture in Schools
Curious about the work Gretchen's been doing with her anti-racist leadership coach Joe Truss? Want to listen in as they chat about what it means to dismantle white supremacist culture in schools...and the tutoring/academic coaching profession, too?
Join Gretchen and Joe for this Facebook Live. Gretchen will also ask Joe for some honest feedback about what it's been like to coach her, and Joe will share more about his upcoming (and first annual!!) conference on Dismantling White Supremacy Culture in Schools.
