Description
Summary:In a speech, University of Pittsburgh School of Education Dean Valerie Kinloch discusses the importance of equity, justice and antiracist teaching. She expresses how she has been reminded of the words of Marian Wright Edelman, who says that education is for improving the living conditions of other people and for leaving the world fundamentally better than how people found it. And that is the purpose of the National Council of Teachers of English--to gather, to be in spaces and places with each other, to think deeply, and to understand that the value of teaching and learning is not just about what they do differently, but about who they are and seek to become, differently, with one another. It is about how they work collectively in the midst of differences in order to impact the world and to change it. If they put students at the center of everything they do, then they would be better off.
