My goal as an educator is to develop culturally responsive teachers and school leaders with the knowledge and skills to serve all students equitably and ethically. To do this, I bring real-world issues into class discussion to foster critical thinking and perspective-taking and affirm the rich and varied personal and professional skills and experiences adults bring to their learning. I develop activities and authentic assessments that challenge and broaden students’ perspectives of salient issues, increase their capacity to critically analyse topics, and encourage them to examine their role as empowered actors who have agency to shape education at local, national, and international levels.
