John Krownapple & Floyd Cobb

In Episode #76 of the "Coaching Conversations" podcast, I have the opportunity to engage, once again, with Dr. Floyd Cobb and John Krownapple, to discuss the crucial role of dignity in creating equitable and inclusive school environments.

Dr. Floyd Cobb and John Krownapple, co-authors of Belonging Through a Culture of Dignity: The Keys to Successful Equity Implementation, bring their extensive expertise to the table. They explore the current state of equitable instruction in schools across the U.S. and provide actionable insights on how educators and school leaders can foster environments where every student feels respected and valued.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• The importance of dignity in schools and how to create environments where every student feels respected.
• A deep dive into the concept of dignity, inspired by the work of Donna Hicks from Harvard, and its critical role in fostering equitable school cultures.
• The evolving landscape of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in education, and how current social and legal changes impact this work.
• Approaches to professional development that honor the dignity of all participants.
• Advice for educators on addressing equity issues in challenging environments.
• Stories of hope and success in fostering dignity and equity in schools.

The episode wraps up with a sneak peek into what John and Floyd will be presenting at this year's TLC conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
