Jason Ablin, the author of The Gender Equation in Schools: How To Create Equity and Fairness For All Students, consults with schools across the country regarding gender and creating positive school cultures. At American Jewish University’s Graduate School for Education, he trains teachers to create gender aware classrooms and is also the founder/director of AJU’s Mentor Teacher Certification Program.     Show Highlights   Be able to receive feedback from a “cringe worthy moment.” Practical tools to frame and drive transformation based on issues of gender in schools. The Gender Equation is a vehicle for helping students experience success. Validate your teachers with questions instead of framing conversation through a specific lens. Lead from the middle and avoid aspirational leadership that alienates people who are trying to work together.   Meet the goal of liberating students. Order, conformity, and obedience are the enemy of authentic education, and schools that are way too quiet.   “You should feel like if we're really talking about making school like the real world, the school should be a place where we're literally teaching students how to enact their freedoms and speak up against systems which are not working well, whether it's at work or whether it's in your community or whether it's in your religious establishment, whatever it is. But you see yourself as a real change maker in the world because you see yourself as free. Everything in the school is surrounded by that principle and ideal.” -Jason Ablin    Get the episode transcript here!   Jason’s Resources & Contact Info: Book: The Gender Equation in Schools Website: Ablin Educational Services, LLC.
