“People have tried to put critical race theory above equity. And to say any word that has any sort of association with a diversity, equity, inclusion theme, that is critical race theory. And it's a bad thing and your kids are being indoctrinated. Your kids are being taught to hate America. And so it does make it challenging,” explains Dr. Sheldon L. Eakins, Ph.D. Dr. Eakins is the Founder of the Leading Equity Center and host of the Leading Equity Podcast. He is also the author of Leading Equity: Becoming an Advocate for All Students. He has over 11 years of experience working in education and uses his background and lived experience to help other educators accomplish equitable practices in their schools. Today, he talks with host D-Rich about how educators can build awareness and practical solutions to racism in schools.    Students of color are represented higher in special education classes and disciplined harsher than their white counterparts. White teachers who do not have a lot of experience with teaching Black and Brown children tend to struggle to relate or to know what to do to make these students more comfortable in school. This is especially true in rural communities and in states like Idaho, where Dr. Eakins resides, that are putting restrictions on what educators can teach their students and what books they can assign in the classroom. It is important for educators to check their biases and recognize the unique challenges that students of color face, so that they can teach content that is relevant and relatable to them.    Educators should take extra time to ensure that they are fostering a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students regardless of what demographics they are. There is no quick and easy bullet point style solution, but Dr. Eakins has created a framework in his book that can be beneficial for educators to follow. In a time when education related to race and equity are being challenged by law, it is more important than ever to ensure that students of color have the support they need.    Quotes • “Whoever's in your classroom, whatever demographics they are, what community they serve, especially in our black communities, we need to make sure that the content that we're providing is relevant and relatable to them.” (11:29-11:40 | Dr. Eakins)  • “White teachers will reach out to me and say, ‘Sheldon, I need a list of strategies in order to reach my Black and Brown kids in my classroom. I don't know how to relate.” (28:22-28:32 | Dr. Eakins) • “The reality is a lot of our teachers aren't comfortable with talking about race.” (36:38-36:41 | Dr. Eakins) • “People have tried to put critical race theory above equity. And to say any word that has any sort of association with a diversity, equity, inclusion theme, that is critical race theory. And it's considered a bad thing and your kids are being indoctrinated. Your kids are being taught to hate America. And so it does make it challenging.” (39:35-39:52 | Dr. Eakins)   Links   Connect with Dr. Sheldon L.

In today's episode of the Boldly Courageous podcast, I am joined by John Bros. In this episode, we talk about the power of gratitude, what happens when you take leaps of faith and living a fulfilling life. John shares his journey of going after his dreams and sharing his mission all while being a science teacher.   The Boldly Courageous Podcast is managed by Podcast & Co.   Meet John: I was born and raised in Stuart, FL and attended the University of Central Florida where I graduated with a BA in Social Science Education. Shortly after that I moved to Salaya, Thailand, a small town just outside of Bangkok, where I taught English to Thai high school students. I was in SE Asia just shy of a year and realized it was time to move back to the States and find my first teaching job in the social studies field. After applying to well over 20 schools all around the US, things came full circle for me and I was hired at the rival high school of my own alma mater. I moved back to FL in August 2015 and I've been teaching 10th grade world history there ever since.    Outside of teaching my world history curriculum, I put enormous focus on educating my students on various tenants of emotional intelligence. This focus includes their ability to use proper perspective and discernment, to practice gratitude, to lead a purpose-driven life, to cultivate empathy, to access critical thinking skills, and to develop poise as a result of having a strong values system. The intention of this is to enrich their lives and develop these wellness tools before they graduate and begin to operate in the type of world we have today.    In 2017 I came to the realization that there is an evident and abundant lack of emotional intelligence in our public school system (and as a result, much of adult society as well), so I began to transpose these themes into a book to create something that would benefit people of all ages. In August 2020, The Personal Wellness Principles: Simple Steps to Create a Happy, Healthy, and Fulfilling Life was published.   Today I'm still teaching, but also actively growing my life coaching business and working towards making my book a household name. I'm a partner out at a farm where we sell rare and exotic fruit trees and install edible landscaping permaculture systems that enable people and families to grow multitudes of produce on their very own property. I'm very passionate about encouraging people to use their land wisely and grow their own food, slowly and surely eliminating their reliance on grocery stores and having home-access to fresh and organic food right from their own yard.   Connect with John:  Instagram: @jbroswellness Get The Book: Click here   Let's Connect: Instagram: @themelissamartin Boldly Courageous Community: Join Now   Launch Your Fucking Podcast: Launch Now

John Bros was born and raised on the Treasure Coast of Florida, where he grew up with a love for fishing and playing hockey. He graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in Social Science Education, followed by a year in Thailand teaching English. Since August 2015, he's taught 10th grade World History back in his hometown. In August 2020, John self-published his book, The Personal Wellness Principles: Simple Steps to Create a Happy, Healthy, and Fulfilling Life. Today he is building his life coaching business and creating speaking opportunities pertaining to self- development and emotional intelligence. He's also very passionate about permaculture, and works with a friend propagating edible plants & fruit trees, and installing edible landscapes and fruit forests. Bros' book, "The Personal Wellness Principles: Simple Steps to Create a Happy, Healthy, and Fulfilling Life," released Aug. 28, 2020, gives insight into finding a person's emotional intelligence. Bros said in the world of life coaching, the meaning of emotional intelligence varies from client to client. “The idea is that the client gets to a point of self-discovery and gets to a point where they are able to accomplish and attain those future things they are looking for by making changes right now,” he said.

What happens when 2 educators get news of a post describing 21 JEDI (justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) terms as Critical Race Theory terms being used to indoctrinate students in K-12 classrooms? In part 2 of this podcast, Dr. Sheldon Eakins of the Leading Equity Center helps explain the tenuous, almost mythical connection between culturally responsive teaching (CRT) and critical race theory (CRT). Spoiler alert: Only the initialism is the same. Once again (for the people in the back), critical race theory is: "a framework that offers researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers a race-conscious approach to understanding educational inequality and structural racism to find solutions that lead to greater justice."--The Oxford Research Encyclopedia "a theoretical and interpretive mode that examines the appearance of race and racism across dominant cultural modes of expression. In adopting this approach, CRT scholars attempt to understand how victims of systemic racism are affected by cultural perceptions of race and how they are able to represent themselves to counter prejudice"--Purdue Owl “not a diversity and inclusion 'training' but a practice of interrogating the role of race and racism in society that emerged in the legal academy and spread to other fields of scholarship."--The American Bar Association Further, "in the field of education, CRT is a helpful tool for analyzing policy issues such as school funding, segregation, language policies, discipline policies, and testing and accountability policies. It is also helpful for critically examining the larger issues of epistemology and knowledge production, which are reflected in curriculum and pedagogy." --The Oxford Research Encyclopedia If you are reading or hearing that CRT is anything other than a way to reflect on whose voices are being heard and whose are lacking in representation; so that you can amplify the voices of all students, you are being misled.
