It was a podcast version of the BBC radio show In Our Time, where a panel of academics discussed the history of ideas.

In practice, the work of a chief equity officer varies vastly across counties, cities, neighborhoods and the schools they serve — often even classroom to classroom.

What is Mindfulness? Unpacking what 'Mindfulness' is can be mixed and confusing. It seems while many teachers talk about mindfulness, each does it for different reasons, and with different understandings of what it is.
