A Turnaround Teacher

@turnaroundteacher

Hi. I'm A. I teach English. Five years ago, I helped restart a failing middle school in a large urban district. While at grad school, this is a brain-dump place to capture the real-life implications of my reading, my questions and pushbacks, and my ideas and commitments for my classroom and school upon my return next year.

I always tell my girls - you have to be able to defend yourself in the streets, but also intellectually.

Critical Hope

From Critical Hope and struggles for justice: An antidote to despair for antiracism educators (only pp. 101-103). In Discerning Critical Hope in Educational Practices. New York. Routledge.

“Only when we are in the fight day-to-day are we prepared tor the large battles, and only when many are prepared for large battles can we marshal the force needed to win substantive victories.

The Nobel laureate poet Seamus Heaney (1991: 77; emphasis in original) put this truth into these telling lines:

History says, Don't hope On this side of the grave. But then, once in a lifetime The longed-tor tidal wave Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme.”
