Antiracist school leadership: Courage and commitment

Dr. Bradley Carpenter, associate professor of educational leadership at Baylor University, speaks about developing and supporting antiracist school principals. Very few leadership prep programs prioritize or embed antiracism principles or practices. A principal committed to centering antiracism needs to have a full equity audit of existing curriculum and practices and to lead faculty members through the emotionally laborious process of examining everyone’s own privileges and biases. The principal also needs to build support from above. Antiracism is an organizing principle, not an end point.  Overview 00:00-00:51 Intros00:51-04:30 What antiracist school leadership looks like04:30-10:00 Prioritizing antiracism in leadership preparation programs10:00-12:26 Support needed by antiracist principals12:26-15:30 Support networks15:30-21:55 What making change in the school looks like21:55-25:25 Professional development25:25-25:27 Incorporating antiracism into discipline policies and curricula28:47-34:00 Dealing with structural inequities34:00-35:46 Antiracism education for “nice white parents”35:46-37:33 Standing up to overtly racist forces37:33-39:00 Antiracism and retaining teachers of color39:00-41:03 Self-care41:03-42:31 Outro Transcript Click here to see the full transcription of this episode.  References Book
