As a leader in “D-E-I” work, I am often surprised how little the field includes “Disability and Accessibility” in the broader conversation. This is a topic that is not just professional, for me, but also deeply personal. It’s time we practice being more inclusive in our movement and start talking about Disability and Accessibility. Available from Solution Tree, or wherever books are sold, The Identity-Conscious Educator provides a framework for building awareness and understanding of five identity categories: race, social class, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. While I address these topics individually in each chapter,, you’ll also learn how to pay attention to identities that inform and impact each other.

"Imagine going a whole day without reading a word—not on a street sign or tube of toothpaste or the screen on your phone. The idea is almost preposterous. Reading is essential to life in the twenty-first century."
