#99 - Equity gaps in extracurricular education w/ Dr. Charli Kemp!!

Equity gaps in education aren’t limited to the confines of the traditional school day. Out-of-school and extracurricular enrichment experiences deliver thousands more hours of learning to kids from wealthier backgrounds than children living in marginalized communities. How might this be addressed, and where does this issue fit in the larger context of educational equity? Dr. Charli Kemp joins us this week to help us explore equity gaps in what takes place after the bell rings! Dr. Kemp is the founder of Change the Tune, a nonprofit that partners with schools, businesses, and community leaders to expand student learning experiences beyond the traditional school day. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a call from students for more support and compassion in the college admissions process and new data about the number of teachers leaving the profession. → Get your Teach the Truth T-Shirt here! → View this episode on YouTube!
