Keeping the Focus on Kids in Uncertain Times
In a world where mandates and policy have us focused on everything else, how do we keep the focus on kids and learning, while preserving our own wellbeing? Join Cornelius Minor, a Brooklyn-based educator who works with teachers, school leaders, and leaders of community-based organizations to create spaces that are student-centered and empowering for all young people.
His latest book, We Got This, explores how the work of encouraging success for all learners is embedded in our everyday decisions, specifically in the choice to really listen to kids. He draws on his experience as a literacy teacher and coach as well as his love for hip-hop and Pokemon.
