Dear Division K Members,

It is a true honor to serve as Vice President of AERA鈥檚 Division K. As I start my tenure, I听recommit to the much-needed work and movement toward a more just future. To do so, I believe听that we need to re-envision the required听transformations in our field to be more than practices of听personal resistance. Instead, transformation demands the collective, purposeful, and proactive听centering of the voices, values, practices, epistemologies, and paradigms of Black, Indigenous,听and other people of Color. Only then may we start to undertake the much-needed work and听provision of collective liberation.听

Our field is at a crossroads. COVID-19 made it impossible to ignore inequities and harms in听schooling, yet the discourse has quickly shifted from reimagining schooling to repairing and听remediating what has been called the 鈥渓earning loss.鈥� These reparative narratives of crises and听racial capitalistic paradigms pathologically shape teaching and teacher education. It is in times听like this听when we don鈥檛 know what to do or how to deal with our anger, fear, and the听sense of听uncertainty, that the field can benefit from being guided by what Savannah Shange called 鈥渁听North Star logic鈥� in the book 听(2019). A North Star logic is predicated on designing, envisioning, and bringing to life futures that do听not yet exist听and in most cases, have never existed.听

This means that as a field, we must firmly听reject tendencies to continue to do what is expected and respected as established research听agendas, policies, and practices in teaching and teacher education. Collectively, we need to focus听on the potentiality of teaching and teacher education. Now, let鈥檚 not be na茂ve; no focus on听potentiality is without obstacles. There has been and听will continue to be the kind of听resistance and 鈥渇riction produced in the encounter between racialized futures and pasts鈥� (Shange,听2019, p. 65). The days of teaching and teacher education research, policies, and practices centered on听whiteness are far from gone. As a field, we can no longer ignore the harm teaching, and teacher听education has听inflicted.听

To address and repair such harm, as a collective, we must enact robust听commitments towards racial justice, social transformation, and truly just teaching and teacher听education. Despite frictions and tensions between the past and future, the future of teaching and听teacher education must be marked by a movement toward freedom and emancipation as a matter of听justice.听I am committed to expanding the stories, ways, and systems of knowing, perspectives, paradigms,听and experiences delineating research, policy, and practice in teaching and teacher education.听

This听expansion and revisioning is necessary if we are to bring closure to a past (and present) of听oppression and envision futures of possibility. If we want to imagine possible futures in the听pursuit of justice, we need to recognize that there is more expertise distributed across professions听than in any one profession. That is, even if teacher educators have more advanced degrees than听teachers, we must commit to prioritizing the voices, values, and perspectives of听teachers鈥攅specially those historically marginalized and minoritized鈥攖o forge a future of听potentialities.听

Christine Sleeter, among others, has long documented as the overwhelming听whiteness of听teaching and teacher education and its problematics. It is essential that we learn from and with听the stories of potentiality being brought to life day in and day out by Black, Indigenous, and听other communities of Color who have been divested and harmed by teaching and teacher听education research, policies, and practices over time. We must attend to the pervasiveness of听intersectional systems of oppression in teaching and teacher education. This means learning from听teachers and teacher educators in countries typically excluded or marginalized in teaching and听teacher education scholarship, deliberately moving beyond the longstanding focus on听Anglophone countries. Importantly, a North Star logic can guide us to abolish imposed borders and conditions that exclude and 鈥渙ther鈥� the individuals and communities most harmed in and by teaching and听teacher education globally.听

This requires embracing approaches to teaching and learning that听honor, cultivate, extend, and sustain multiple ways to read, write, talk, and more broadly听communicate the brilliance of Black children, Indigenous communities鈥� epistemologies and听ontologies, the sophistication of multilingual children, and so much more. As Division K (re)commits to bringing teachers and teacher educators together across听sociopolitical borders and professional fields in the pursuit of justice, my hope is that we can听forge a powerful collective that can disrupt the status quo while reimagining our professional听priorities in ways that are answerable to Black, Indigenous, and other communities of Color. Although we have a lot of work ahead of us, I want to reaffirm my steadfast听commitment to听more equitable and just futures in teaching and teacher education. Yet, I want to underscore that听this is not 鈥渙ther people鈥檚 work.鈥� It is everyone鈥檚 work. As part of the teaching and teacher听education profession, as a collective, we must work toward, embody, and enact the听transformation we hope to see.听

I鈥攁long with Program Co-Chairs Drs. Mildred Boveda and Tia Madkins and the community听serving Division K (see below image)鈥攁m energized, hopeful, and ready to work together with you.听

Together, let鈥檚 ensure that teaching and teacher education鈥攔esearch, policy, practice鈥攎ove toward a more just and transformative future. It is up to us!

As always, committed to the pursuit of justice,
