Revolutionizing Education: Equitable Solutions - Abdul Wright | Season 1 Episode 4

beyond the curriculum

“Education is the platform that makes it possible to defeat all barriers.”

— Norbert Juma

Abdul Wright is a middle school Language Arts teacher and Literacy Coach, the 2016 Minnesota Teacher of the Year, and identified as a Minnesota, African American Heritage Award Honoree.

Abdul will discuss the impact teachers make on the journey of our young learners and how teachers need to remember it is our primary responsibility to invest in the lives of our students.

On July 9th, Abdul gave his keynote at the National Network of State Teachers of the Year’s Teacher Leadership Conference titled, “Equitable Solutions” where he shared a personal story about how he overcame multiple obstacles to become the teacher he is today. It is a powerful and compelling story that should remind educators about the impact they make in the lives of their students.

This the fourth episode of a five-part series. You will hear from the speakers themselves who will help us dive deeper into their message.

Throughout this series, I am joined by the 2018 Virginia State Teacher of the Year, Michelle Cottrell-Williams.

Michelle is going to help me unpack the takeaways of these educational leaders who’s message will take us beyond the curriculum.
