Classroom Communities for Everyone


Journals
2024

Almost everyone has spent some time in a school and has fond memories of a favorite teacher and classroom, or conversely, wants to forget a school that made them feel rejected or unseen. Those of us who spend time in schools know that adults with power, such as teachers and administrators, have a great responsibility as we shape the lives of children. Among our responsibilities is that of building equitable communities and structures that ensure powerful learning opportunities for children, especially those from marginalized communities. By achieving these goals, teachers and administrators can uphold the ideals we hope to instill in children. While such goals are easy to consider, enacting the short-term and long-term work needed to transform schools is difficult. Therefore, we hope to spark conversations about how schools can individually and collectively work to reimagine classrooms as sites of equitable learning opportunities.
