Bio

My work is focused on practicing toward the possible: Preparing teachers for the way schools can be, rather than simply preparing teachers for schools as they currently are. This approach requires an understanding of the history(ies) of literacy as a field and education more broadly. Looking back to the past can inform the present and help us reconsider where we are heading. In order to prepare teachers for this important work, teacher educators must provide experiences that are grounded in theory and that provide them with opportunities to engage with students, families, and communities in ways that disrupt deficit approaches that are prevalent in many schools and classrooms.
