Jennifer Cheatham, lecturer and director of the Public Education 91直播 Project at Harvard, and John B. Diamond, researcher and sociologist at University of Wisconsin 鈥 Madison, join 91直播 opinion contributor and author Peter DeWitt to discuss the connection between leadership and equity in schools and districts.
