Leader Profile
What are the key things you'd counsel someone coming into the workforce?
When I work with new teachers, I tell them to be a little radical when they teach. I want them to find the kind of literature that really gets kids talking about deep issues like poverty and racism. I want them to get kids thinking in Social Studies about alternative viewpoints that might not be in the history book. Classrooms have to become a place for children to grapple with big issues and find their own voices and identities. Organization Links
