Jasmine Lane, a high school English teacher, discusses the importance of equity and education and the disconnect between how teachers feel and what they need to do to push education forward for all students, regardless of their background. She also shares how education has changed her life, how her students have been impacted by their early literacy teachers, and how high schoolers fill in the gaps for things they missed early on.
Quotes:“The science of reading–that’s my push for equity because every child deserves to be able to read.” “We want all kids to succeed. If that’s not equity, I don’t know what is.”Resources:
