Hey there! I’m Abby Carlson. I am a fifth grade teacher in Albuquerque Public Schools. I’m starting my 16th year of teaching like it’s my first. Distance learning has shifted every educator’s priorities, and yet, Social Justice has shifted mine two-fold. The practices I adopt must meet the needs of my students, and they must also forward what our culture expects of educators and education. Yes, I am one teacher, but if you don’t think you’re an agent of change, then you’re not. Be bold. Be vulnerable. Be brave, with me.
