The children need us. We are entering a very critical period in the field of education, and the responsibility to “show up” for our students has never been greater. Last year, as I witnessed the toll this pandemic was taking on my own kids, I realized that not only were my students hurting, but young people everywhere were struggling. It seemed like the perfect time for a change.

Teaching has been a part of my identity since 2003. I’ve taught in all kinds of different environments: a tiny village of 750, an urban district with systemic poverty issues, a middle-class town with little diversity—even community and private colleges.

As classes moved online and curriculum and basic routines became the sole focus, I noticed a light was shone on the inherent biases present in many schools. Within my own classroom, I was suddenly hyper-aware of how the lack of representative curriculum, combined with feelings of isolation brought on by the pandemic, was harming students. This became a revelatory moment for me, and I decided to make some changes.
