#93 - Title IX and the Fight for Gender Equity in Schools w/ Kim Turner!

For fifty years (and counting) Title IX has served as a pivotal tool in the pursuit of gender equity in education. Despite being among the most discussed pieces of federal legislation, there is still a lot of misunderstanding with regards to what Title IX is and how it works. In fact, some district administrators aren’t even aware that they are the Title IX Coordinator for their school district! To help us explore the impact of Title IX and what work still needs to be done in the pursuit of gender equity in our schools, we’re joined by super-dope equity champion Kim Turner! Kim serves as the Director of the Gender Equity Initiative at Positive Coaching Alliance, advancing sports-based gender equity for girls, coaches, schools, youth sports stakeholders, and community programs. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including the sentencing of a once-celebrated champion of charter schools and a new international study that seems to suggest printed text does more to boost reading scores than digital text. → Get your Teach the Truth T-Shirt here! → View this episode on YouTube!
