Camp BNT is still going strong! If you’re new to this summer series, we have interviewed several authors to uncover highlights, takeaways, and reflections to help us have a more intentional approach to creating culturally responsive and equitable classrooms.

Last week we interviewed the incredible Dr. Deonna Smith, author of Rooted in Joy: Creating a Classroom Culture of Equity, Belonging, and Care. Be sure to tune in to episode 163 if you missed that conversation!
