“The reason why nobody can tell you what to do is because no one knows your situation like you do. And so you have the advantage of having listened and learned in many places and so now it is your responsibility to figure out the plan.”
Elena Aguilar
On today’s episode Elena coaches an instructional coach who works at a school that is the top performing high school in the state where despite their considerable success, students of color are being underserved. While this reality is known and discussed at the district and school-wide level, disparities are not being addressed at the individual classroom level.
