What is the narrative of each student group represented on your campus?  This week’s guest, Charles Williams, shares his experiences as a student and how it inspired him to change the negative portrayals of the disenfranchised populations.  In this episode, we also discuss:

• Assessing Equity in Schools
• Inside the Principal’s Office
• And the Counter Narrative Podcast
