We’re here to make sure every student & educator succeeds.

“Allowing students to bring up issues and talk about what they are seeing and hearing in their world is critical. They will begin to respond to each other—it’s a beautiful thing to see—and the teacher’s role is largely to monitor and moderate. I never get on a soapbox or make my own political views known. Instead, I ask a lot of guiding questions and give students practice in finding evidence from primary sources.”

“Growing up I didn’t see a lot of me in my own teachers. That really inspired me to go just a little harder in terms of what I bring to the table … to be better. I don’t have time to slack off because I want [my students] to be the best they can be....Not only am I beneficial to students of color, especially young Black males, but I feel I’m a benefit to all students."

“A contemporary story about a Native boy helps battle stereotyping while also offering lessons that anyone can learn about growing up and honoring your community and your place in it. It doesn’t swim through the tragedy and trauma of what Native culture lost but speaks about the living culture that is here and how kids can get to healing.”
