In your opinion, why is there a growing need for diversity, equity, and inclusion in schools today? GUEST: Our society is becoming increasingly diverse, and schools must reflect this reality. It's essential that we equip our educators with the skills to foster inclusivity, so every student feels valued and has equal opportunities to succeed. HOST: Absolutely.

Could you share any challenges you've faced or observed when teaching or learning about these subjects? GUEST: Of course. One major challenge is acknowledging and addressing our own biases.
