On The Margins

CREED has just completed it's inaugural year of the North Carolina Equity Fellowship, a leadership development program created to equip advocates for educational equity by deepening their knowledge, skills and understanding of racialized disparities in North Carolina schools. We selected FOUR initial fellows: Rodney Pierce (Teacher Fellow), Dr. Jonita Taylor (Principal Fellow), Porcha McMillan (School Board Fellow), and Emiene Wright (Journalism Fellow).  As we open up the application for our 2020 NC Equity Fellowship (included a Superintendent Fellow), we wanted to give the public a chance to meet these outstanding individuals, learn more about their experiences and hear the ways they intend to disrupt the inequities in our education system. If you live in North Carolina, are a classroom teacher, principal, school board member, superintendent or journalist, and are interested in applying for this fellowship, please click this link.  This episode is dedicated to the memory of Porcha McMillan.
