More Than a Seat at the Table Podcast

More Than a Seat at the Table is a product of the Diversifying the Educator Workforce Collaborative at Great Schools Partnership. The podcast focuses on elevating our mission to diversify the New England educator workforce. Our episodes will address the stark underrepresentation of people of color in teaching and leadership roles across the education spectrum, from pre-K through university. We will engage with key community members, from state educational agencies shaping policies to school district leaders implementing change on the ground and community support organizations forging connections that empower teachers of color. Join us on this compelling journey as we amplify DEW voices from the field, highlight effective DEW best practices, challenge assumptions, and advocate for a more inclusive educational landscape. It’s not just about having a seat at the table; it’s about reshaping the entire conversation and ensuring that every voice is heard and valued. This podcast and our diversification work is made possible by our funders: Barr Foundation, McClure Foundation, Nellie Mae, and New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. Theme music for this podcast was composed and recorded by Jay Gardoqui.
