This week we have a very special guest who has done so much work in her classroom, district and internationally. There were so many topics we could have covered with her including anti-racism, community school frameworks, administration, international work, academia as she is studying her PhD, classroom teaching, mindfulness and so many other things. Meena Mangat joins us to talk about her anti-racism work, what healing work means and giving kids dignity; plus so much more.

QUOTE:

"“Research shows that healthy adult-child relationships, like those between school staff and students, safe and supportive school environments, and targeted resources and interventions all help build those protective factors. This effect is strongest when we elevate student voice, co-construct experiences grounded in a healthy sense of identity and belonging, celebrate our students’ cultures, and promote relationships anchored in dignity. We know that to support our students, we must promote the healing needed to build protective barriers and buffer against trauma.”
- The Healing-Centered Framework for Chicago Public Schools
