This episode shifts the spotlight from individual action to institutional design. If your school’s equity work disappears when one leader leaves, it was never sustainable to begin with.

Jocelynn challenges listeners to design schools that can withstand disruption—political, cultural, and structural—by embedding equity into systems, not personalities. She shares how equity audits and strategic planning become powerful tools for long-term transformation, and outlines the design principles that turn your vision into structure.

Whether you're a principal, coach, teacher-leader, or team lead, this episode helps you build earthquake-ready equity systems—the kind that flex but don’t fall.

Key Themes:

• The problem with personality-driven equity

• Designing for disruption: anticipating the storm

• Equity audits and strategic planning as system tools

• Building equity into policies, PD, hiring, and onboarding

• Moving from vision to infrastructure

Reflection Questions:

• Data-Informed Practice: What data are you collecting to assess structural equity?
• Community: Who's at the redesign table—staff, students, families?
• Opportunity: Where do gaps in access, visibility, or advancement persist?
• Agency: Are your systems empowering or policing?
