Getting Unstuck: #129: Becoming the Catalyst for Change
In this episode of Getting Unstuck
Periodically on “Getting Unstuck,” we introduce you to individuals who have a unique story to tell – a story in which they have made a radical shift from one way of living or working to another way – a way that creates new possibilities for themselves and others. We call these shifts “transformation stories.”
Today we’re joined by Jamahl Hines who has a powerful transformation story.
Jamahl is the Assistant Principal at Conard High School in West Hartford, Connecticut and the founder of the Future Educators of Diversity, a powerful program that champions equity for students in his district and creates a pipeline for developing teachers of color.
The Future Educators of Diversity pin that students proudly wear at graduation.
