Send us your thoughts about this week's episode!What does it mean to be an "equity conspirator" in today's educational landscape? In this thought-provoking conversation, veteran educator Klarissa Hightower reveals how she leveraged her 18 years of experience—from classroom teacher to executive leadership—to transform school systems from within.Drawing on her powerful concept of the "privilege wheel," Klarissa explains how she strategically used her access to decision-making spaces to advocate for marginalized students. Rather than simply speaking from personal experience, she demonstrates the importance of building relationships with communities outside your own to ensure authentic representation. Her approach combines hard data with human stories, showing administrators exactly how their policies affect real students.Parents and educators will find practical strategies for creating change at any level. Whether forming coalitions with unexpected allies, asking specific questions about budget allocations, or transforming a single classroom, every action creates ripple effects.
