There Are No Disconnected Histories

In today’s episode of Education Suspended we connect with Dr. Mark Gooden, PhD., who is the Christian Johnson Endeavor Professor in Education Leadership and Chair of the Department of Organization and Leadership at Teachers College, Columbia University. Dr. Gooden talks about the barriers that exist in our ability in education to retain strong teachers of color. He highlights the power of education to be the passport to the future, and how that leads to an obligation for us to make the system better for future generations. Dr. Gooden is co-author of the award-winning book Five Practices for Equity-Focused School Leadership (ASCD, 2021) and co-author of the Principal's Legal Handbook, 5thEd.
