The Another View Team with Dr. Claudine Kizart

Dr. Claudine Kizart was the guest on this week's Another View with Barbara Hamm Lee. Dr. Kizart implores educators, especially K-12 teachers to take a deep introspective look at personal perceptions, attitudes, and biases that might keep them from delivering educational equity for all students. Dr. Kizart is author of the book " Beyond Implicit and Explicit Bias: Strategies for Healing the Root Causes of Inequity in Education." Also, Another View pays tribute to the brilliant jurist and public servant The Honorable Jerrauld C. Jones who passed away May 31st. This, and all Another View Programs can be heard on demand on the show's program page. Another View is heard live Thursdays at noon on WHRV.
