Welcome to another episode of SORL, the podcast where we explore the transformative power of education and leadership in shaping young minds. I'm Dr. Christy Lamb, joined by my co-host, Terri Hunt, M.Ed., and today, we're diving deep into literacy and public education reform with the esteemed Dr. Gyimah Whitaker.

As the Superintendent of City Schools of Decatur, Dr. Whitaker stands at the forefront of the district's strategic initiative called All in Decatur, a visionary plan to foster a high-performing and inclusive educational system for every child. She'll share the compelling story of how Brown Bear isn't just a childhood staple but a powerful tool in teaching students to decode language patterns and grasp comprehension.

Her efforts are centered on comprehensive interventions for students who struggle with literacy, ensuring that inclusive education isn’t just a talking point but a living, breathing reality.

So, tune in as we applaud Dr. Whitaker's courage in paving a new path forward, ensuring that all truly means all, and striving for educational equity. Stay with us for this inspiring journey into literacy and leadership with Dr. Gyimah Whitaker.
