"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world."
Paulo Friere

My entire master's program in Curriculum and Instruction was centered within a Social Justice framework. I spent almost three years in that program, reading, reflecting and mapping out my vision for teaching and learning. I am a Black woman who grew up in a relatively diverse suburb of Chicago and attended a PWI for undergrad...what had I not already experienced in the way of social injustice, racism and sexism? And yet none of those experiences, dozens of books read and hundreds of journal articles annotated could have adequately prepared me for the inequities and political land mines I would face as a district level administrator in S. Florida.
