EduGladiators false #43 - More Than Just a Party: The Black Resistance of Mardi Gras 7bc16291fecb6ebd74261fe458d443fc4adfdd5d Mardi Gras is often seen as just a wild party—beads, parades, and celebrations.

So, in today’s episode, we’re answering:
✅ What are the African and Black American influences on Mardi Gras?
✅ How have Black communities shaped the celebration, especially in New Orleans?
✅ How does Mardi Gras connect to Black resistance, history, and joy?

EduGladiators false #42 - Honoring Black History Month Year Round f1a362473cc6ec4a2e122142378a43fdf48cac50 We’ve spent February celebrating Black History Month, amplifying Black excellence, addressing the current state of DEI and recognizing the profound impact of Black leaders, innovators, and change-makers. But as the month comes to a close, here’s the real talk—Black history doesn’t end on February 29th.


So today, we’re going to talk about:
✅ The origins of Black History Month—Why it was created in the first place.
✅ Why celebrating Black history year-round is essential—and the dangers of only limiting it to February.
✅ How educators, parents, and communities can uplift Black history all year long.

EduGladiators false #41 - Hiring Season 2025: Will Politics Keep Good Teachers & Leaders Away? ac69444487c4e9bc34c3c556491af7fdfb8133d3 Public school hiring in 2025 is under attack. With new political restrictions on DEI, merit-based hiring shifts, and increased scrutiny on educators, schools are struggling to hire diverse and experienced teachers.


In this episode of the Real Talk Education Podcast, we break down:


✔️ How political changes are reshaping public school hiring
✔️ The biggest challenges for teachers, administrators, and parents this hiring season
✔️ Actionable strategies to protect fair and diverse hiring practices


As Trump-era policies roll back DEI and shift hiring toward "merit-based" models, educators and communities face a critical fight for equity in public schools. With increased federal oversight on hiring, threats to funding, and legal restrictions, who gets to teach—and how they’re hired—is more political than ever.

EduGladiators false #40 - How the Past Is Fueling Today’s Fight for Public Education 024b836a3ff8d638b3373b1419954c7dc29a0d12 📢 Did you know that the push for a federal Department of Education was originally backed by the Ku Klux Klan?


Yes, you read that right. In the 1920s, the KKK pushed for a federal education department to enforce cultural homogeneity and racial exclusion. But over time, education policy transformed—from being a tool of oppression to a pillar of civil rights and equity in America.

Now, history is repeating itself. Trump and his allies are working to dismantle the Department of Education, rolling back civil rights protections, gutting federal oversight, and leaving public schools vulnerable to political control.


🔥 In this must-listen episode, we break it all down:
✅ The shocking history of the Department of Education’s KKK-backed origins
✅ How federal education policy evolved to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion
✅ Why Trump’s plan to abolish the DOE is a direct threat to public schools & marginalized students
✅ How YOU can take action to defend Black history, DEI, and public education


💡 Without federal oversight, states with long histories of discrimination could roll back hard-fought civil rights protections in education. This fight is about more than schools—it’s about democracy.


So grab your earbuds, turn up the volume, and let’s get into it.

In today’s episode, we will uncover challenges to your school or district DEI recruiting and retention efforts including the impact of the “Black Tax” plus tips to address these challenges.


There is no debate that recruiting and retaining teachers of color is essential. According to a summary of the research by the Learning Policy Institute, all students, including white students, benefit from having teachers of color.  In fact, in one study, students rank teachers of color higher than white teachers on multiple measures, including feeling cared for and academically challenged resulting in student academic gains. Moreover, research shows students of color do better academically and are more likely to graduate high school and go to college if some of their teachers look like them.

]]> It’s time to have some “real talk” about why districts are struggling with recruiting and retaining diverse staff.  Having a diverse teacher and leadership workforce is critical, yet, few districts have achieved the goal of building a teaching workforce that looks like its students. In today’s episode, we will uncover challenges to your school or district DEI recruiting and retention efforts including the impact of the “Black Tax” plus tips to address these challenges.


There is no debate that recruiting and retaining teachers of color is essential. According to a summary of the research by the Learning Policy Institute, all students, including white students, benefit from having teachers of color.  In fact, in one study, students rank teachers of color higher than white teachers on multiple measures, including feeling cared for and academically challenged resulting in student academic gains. Moreover, research shows students of color do better academically and are more likely to graduate high school and go to college if some of their teachers look like them.


Check out our show notes for our specific DEI Recruitment & Retention Strategies from this episode.

In this episode, we are going to break down the steps to actually create psychologically safe and nurturing environments for teachers and leaders to show up unapologetically as their full selves and their “receipts” are valued.

EduGladiators false #22: DEI Awareness to Action c86cc883-dec0-410f-b9d5-92ca7f9dac48

Have you ever heard of the fable, The Elephant and The Mouse? Well in this episode of Real Talk Education, we are zeroing in on what is needed for teachers and leaders to move beyond just awareness of inequities, biases and microaggressions, but to actual action to combat these issues.

How can schools and districts move from awareness rhetoric to visible action in addressing inequities for students? The first step is understanding bias which is the root of our actions both positive and negative. Facing our biases does not lend itself to easy conversations.  As EduGladiators, we must initiate and facilitate productive, honest conversations about root causes of biases and the impact those biases have in our interactions with students, parents and colleagues.
