C.01 Raising Student Voice—What Is Our Role in G Equity and Justice in the English Classroom? 310 ABC

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16 NOVEMBER FRIDAY, Reading, writing, speaking, listening, research—all literally blend in our classrooms during the formative years of our students’ lives. Instructionally, our aim is to produce critical thinkers, citizens of the world— in both career and daily living. But in addition to this instructional aim also exists how we as teachers impart and model our society’s values of equity and justice, not only through the literature we teach and writing we assign, but also through our methods of inquiry, dialectics, and, yes, even our own classroom comportment. Our students learn from us inside and outside the literature and writing. We both affect and effect them in so many ways.

Each performance will illuminate issues transcultural and representative of neo-American being, while highlighting children and stories told through themes of social justice and communities of harmony. This providential event is presented collectively by the Black and Latinx Caucuses. The Cultural Celebration is open to all NCTE members and guests.
