<strong>Course</strong> Name: We Got This-CREDIT ONLY-PARTICIPANTS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING MATERIALS<br />
Dates: Feb 3, <strong>2020</strong> N/A<br />
Instructor: BETH EDELMANN<br />
Location: Online<br />
Description: In We Got This Cornelius Minor describes how he realized that listening to children is one of the most powerful<br />
things a teacher can do. By listening carefully, Cornelius discovered something that kids find themselves having to communicate<br />
far too often. That “my lessons were not, at all, linked to that student’s reality.” While challenging the teacher as hero trope, We<br />
Got This shows how authentically listening to kids is the closest thing to a superpower that we have. What we hear can spark<br />
action that allows us to make powerful moves toward equity by broadening access to learning for all children. A lone teacher<br />
can’t eliminate inequity, but Cornelius demonstrates that a lone teacher can confront the scholastic manifestations of racism,<br />
sexism, ableism and classism by showing: exactly how he plans and revises lessons to ensure access and equity ways to look<br />
anew at explicit and tacit rules that consistently affect groups of students unequally suggestions for leaning into classroom<br />
community when it feels like the kids are against you ideas for using universal design that make curriculum relevant and<br />
accessible advocacy strategies for making classroom and schoolwide changes that expand access to opportunity to your students<br />
“We cannot guarantee outcomes, but we can guarantee access” Cornelius writes. “We can ensure that everyone gets a shot. In<br />
this book we get to do that. Together. Consider this book a manual for how to begin that brilliantly messy work. We got this.”<br />
