AppleTree's mission and core values are a reflection of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). It is our responsibility to explore these values in education to maximize our efforts in supporting children and their families. AppleTree Audience with...Rick Cruz, Board Chair, District of Columbia Public Charter School Board, discusses his perspective about education and his passion for equity and inclusion in the workplace. He talks about his dad, family values, and his own school experiences. This issue will hopefully inspire and motivate DEI growth for individuals and educational organizations that serve children.
