What is equity? Who is leading the charge in shaping educational equity? How can I get involved in the movement for educational equity? The Equity Everywhere podcast answers these questions and more. Made for educators, this podcast will give you vital resources through conversations with equity leaders across the educational industry.
In this episode, Thom Jackson, President, and Chief Executive Officer of EdisonLearning speaks about his challenges growing up in Hamilton, OH, a small town in Southwest Ohio, and attending Garfield Sr. High School. Thom will discuss the adversity he overcame and the individuals who gave him the strength to succeed. Thom displays his heart on his sleeve as he gives back to students today through his leadership and vision at EdisonLearning. A particular focus of Thom’s story is how experiences and human interest encounters early in his career shape the future of EdisonLearning and its participation in ensuring “Equity Everywhere.”
