Educational Equity Emancipation

Author: Dr. Almitra L. Berry

We have to do better Thats Dr. Almitra Berrys heart-felt answer when asked about educating children from diverse cultural and language backgrounds.Dr. Berry has a strong message for educators and school system leaders who dont understand that cultural differences can profoundly affect the quality of education these children experienceYou have children with failing test scores. You have teachers who want to teach but arent given the freedom or allowed to use the tools and strategies they need. You have teachers leaving the profession in droves.And you have tax-paying parents who are very dissatisfied with their childrens education but dont know how to effect change.In other words, our education system has a crisis on its hands. And this crisis affects all of us, not just teachers and those in the educational establishment.Its a crisis we must address if were going to have an exceptional nation with school systems free of systemic oppression.We need to take it to heart. We need to act on Dr. Berrys message. Its a message shes deeply passionate about.As an educator, speaker, and author, she focuses on the education of the most historically marginalized: culturally and linguistically diverse learners.She has worked diligently for over 30 years to help marginalized learners, learners of color, of linguistic and cultural diversity in low-wealth urban school districts, experience higher academic achievements.Dr. Berry is on a mission. A mission bigger than herself. A mission to change the conversation happening around the topics of education, equity, and intellectual emancipation for culturally and linguistically diverse learners.But she cant do it alone. So shes looking for leaders to join her.
