Voices for Educational Equity
Abstract
Over the last few years, there have been many calls to re-imagine schools. These recurring calls for reconceptualization of schools only intensified during the pandemic: What might schools look like post pandemic? How can we re-conceptualize schools and move away from antiquated practice that was initially built based on an agrarian society that had to address the influx of immigrants who were diverse in culture and language? The initial iteration of schooling in the United States was focused on the melting-pot ideology of assimilating immigrant and indigenous students into a mythical American ideology. The original system wasn't concerned with respecting the identity of the child. In this article, I provide a set of “provocations” for educators to consider in their own learning spaces.
