Education Equality, A Community Effort

This week we’re talking with educator, Aaron Smith, about the public school system in the United States. There’s no denying that our school systems are deeply flawed and not at all equitable. Aaron, who has 20 years of experience in education, shares his insights on how we can level the playing field and more adequately prepare our children for the real world. He explains how education is more effective as a communal effort. Aaron reminds us that kids don’t care about what you know until they know how much you care. Tune in to learn how community can change education and what role you can play.

One note, We conducted this interview before the world faced a global pandemic. Now teachers and families, across the nation, are struggling to balance it all in an already imperfect educational system. Because of this drastic change, We've invited Aaron to join us for a LIVE conversation to talk about how the pandemic is affecting children, educators, and families and what we, as a community, can do about it. Join me and Dr. Aaron Smith LIVE on Friday, September 4th at 5 pm CST    ***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A DIFFERENT TIME THAN LISTED IN THE EPISODE *** via either The Brave Files Facebook page or our Facebook collective Brave on Purpose.
