In this episode, Dr. Almitra Berry welcomes Dr. Dana Goodier, an educational powerhouse with 23 years of experience. Dr. Dana Goodier has taught World Languages and English and worked as a middle school administrator. She completed her doctorate degree (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership early 2020, researching reasons parents were opting their students out of high-stakes testing. Dr. Goodier often speaks at conferences, providing educators with techniques to minimize off-task behavior and increase time on task. She is the host of the “Out of the Trenches” podcast and has written the book “Out of the Trenches: Stories of Resilient Educators,” which features her own story intertwined with other educators' experiences. They discuss Dr. Goodier's pivotal moment that sparked her interest in world languages, her transition from classroom teaching to school leadership, and the unique challenges women leaders face in Education.

Hi there! I'm Dr. Almitra Berry, but people call me “Doc.”. I'm an educator, author, consultant, and podcast host with a passion for making our schools work better for all students.

Over my 30-year career in education, I've gathered a wealth of experiences and insights that I love sharing. My work focuses on educational equity, especially for culturally and linguistically diverse learners in urban school districts.

I've written professional learning books, consulted with school districts across the country, and spoken at numerous conferences. But what I enjoy most is connecting with people who care about improving education for marginalized learners.

On my podcast, I enjoy having meaningful conversations about education. I bring a mix of expertise, real-world stories, and a touch of humor to discussions on topics like curriculum reform, leadership in education, creating inclusive classrooms, and the politics of education.
