We will study how inquiry/action research can bea tool that practitioners use to dismantle thesestructures and to change them to truly benefitall learners.The day will start with an exploration of anti-oppressive methodologies, including universal design for learning and culturally sustaining pedagogies. We will investigate the relation-ship that listening to children and to their communities plays in fostering growth and ensuring achievement. This work will rest on a foundation of strong literacy practice. Nomatter the discipline or the curriculum, we all teach children to read. That they read fiction, informational texts, media, lab reports, social situations, or primary sources is secondary to the reality that they must read powerfully, think critically, write expressively, and speak convincingly.
