As we think about eradicating the barriers of occupational hierarchy of our BIPOC students, we have to identify drivers and access points in our college and career readiness practices that subconsciously reinforce the pathways of these barriers.

Equity work is complex. It is time to have some “real talk” about how eradicating occupational hierarchy for our BIPOC students requires us as EduGladiators to assess our own personal awareness and knowledge gaps of systemic racism in our school practice, culture and operations.

What you will learn in this episode:

• How unconscious bias of educators impacts career expectations of BIPOC students.


• 3 key areas that can help schools and districts accurately diagnose problematic college and career readiness practices.


• Guiding questions to support data collection around these 3 key areas to ensure equitable, diverse and inclusive environments for all students.
