What's this blog about?

I teach several courses under the broad topic of "Multicultural Education," prioritizing social justice issues of access, power/privilege, & narrowing the academic achievement gap. I am a person of color and I almost always have a white co-teacher. We include topics, such as: racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, deculturalization, transforming curriculum, etc. This is a place where I post information that we teach; lesson plans for activities; and resources we use and/or which are shared with me by my adult students.

Exit Studio's products explore some of these themes through books, videos, and hands-on activities. Here you can learn more about this colorful place where art, music, and language mix in fascinating ways.  Teacher tools here:  http://www.exitstudio.com/web-content/pages/classroom.html
