School Leadership Tip: Effective Hiring Practices

It's hiring season!  If you are a leader in education, are you sure your hiring practices align with your campuses' core values?  Have you taken the time to invest in the teachers you have now?  Are you showing teacher candidates the accurate depiction of your culture and allowing them to decide if they are aligned with your culture before sending them the "you are hired/offer" letter?  Avoid hiring mistakes, know what to ask, and know what to do when searching for the best talent.  You cannot afford "hiring mistakes" with such a teacher shortage.  Learn effective hiring practices that can save you from a waste of thousands of dollars in training new teachers, a headache, and an enormous amount of energy spent on the wrong people.  Show your high-quality teachers that you value them and learn how to keep them on your team so that they never leave.  If you are a new leader, a leader with high teacher/staff turnover, or a leader who was never coached on effective hiring practices, this is the episode for you.

Domestic Terrorism: How White Supremacy and Racism Impacts Mass Shooting

Out of the major mass shootings in the last 10 years, Texas is at the top of the list with the most reported mass shootings.  Many might assume that the lack of gun control tied to the 2nd Amendment has everything to do with money.  However, I bring some pretty interesting facts on how mass shootings or domestic terrorism acts and the 2nd Amendment is tied to White Supremacy and Racism.  Until we can call a thing a thing, we will continue to have this problem.  Find out how the 2nd Amendment and acts of domestic terrorism such as mass shootings are tied to White Supremacy and Racism.  I do a full breakdown on Black Women In Ed Leadership Digital Content.

Black Motherhood and Its Connection to Shaping Black Women Leaders

In honor of this past Mother's Day, Black Women In Ed Leadership Digital Content wanted to take the time out to celebrate Black motherhood and its roots connected to shaping Black women leaders. Black mothering differs from other racial groups because Black women have had to mother their children amongst the complex challenges presented by racism and many other oppressive systems. As a result, many Black mothers turned their oppressive tragedies into triumphs and have birthed children leading a nation and their communities, families, professions, and society. Our guest and my mom, Mauresia, share her experience as a mother, her lessons, and how she believes her mothering shaped her daughters' leadership. We say Happy Mother's Day to our moms and thank them for their sacrifices they may look so easy.  Follow us, like us, comment on, and share via our social media handles (we are on most podcast platforms): Twitter: https://twitter.com/BlackWomenInEd Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BlackWomenEdLeadership/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackwomeninedleadership/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLdz1hafrprWDS-z6b7SEgg https://www.linkedin.com/company/black-women-in-ed-leadership/?viewAsMember=true https://open.spotify.com/show/5j6VolazBva4cD5rXqzf4O We are asking for donations to continue the expansion of Black Women In Ed Leadership Digital Content.

Are You a Member of the Token Club? Black Women in Educational Leadership and the Types of Oppression We Face: Tokenism

We need to hire a person of color! We need a woman quickly! Hurry, get me a Black man! Can we think of a Muslim we have around here that will make us appear as a diverse organization to the public? Did you hear about what rumor is spreading about the organization throughout media outlets? We have no BIPOC on the leadership team - we need to get one – hire a Black woman as that will serve as two demographics for the price of one! We see you as a "perfect fit" for our organization and leadership team.

The Importance of School Board Elections

Local elections have historically been known to have low voter turnout!  We cannot afford to sit these elections out, especially with our school board meetings becoming hijacked by the manufactured "anger" around issues that have become politicized.  As a result, the cost of our student's education and becoming better citizens is becoming compromised.  Our school board is part of those local elections and tremendously impacts our students and communities. They decide the directions of our districts, our districts' culture, and what our districts prioritize for the benefit of ALL students.  Sitting out elections can involuntarily elect trustees who don't belong in these seats, ultimately negatively impacting our kids.  Tune in to this show's episode to learn why voting in these life-changing elections is essential.
