How can data about inequality influence the choices you make in your classroom?

NewsHour Classroom’s Educator Voice Zoom audience dove into the question in May with researcher and "American Inequality" author Jeremy Ney to discuss the latest data on inequality in the U.S.

The group discussed data on literacy rates, teacher pay and more, with an eye for how the data can be turned into action.

Educator Voice's monthly Zoom show on PBS NewsHour Classroom was attended by teachers and school staff from across the country. The series brings together educators to discuss important issues of the day and how they impact the classroom. You can watch the full session here and selected clips below.
