As a professor of education, my work across classrooms and communities around the world focuses on culturally responsive teaching and educational equity.

This year’s UNESCO theme, “The Power of Youth in Co-Creating Education,” reflects what I continue to see globally. Youth voice matters. When young people are centered in learning, education becomes more meaningful and more just.
