The authors, who are teacher educators, argue for teacher ed programs that see pre-service teachers as human beings with "feelings, beliefs, and the potential to be transformed." This is the only way to reach a pedagogical practice that is responsive and flexible and that also sees students and colleagues as complicated human beings and not mechanical, get-the-test-right autobots. They recommend integrating literacy throughout the curriculum, learning across difference(s), social justice/transformative awareness, acknowledge lived experiences, recruit diverse teachers, esp POC.

According to the article, "Any selection of reading comes with a political agenda." The authors explain the scaffolding for the memoir. These are the following steps: 1. Introduce with mentor texts 2. Brainstorm literacy experiences 3. Create identity web 4. Annotate a timeline of experiences in order to analyze critical patterns  etc...Overall, this unit teaches students to have empathy in a world that "...is dominated by the hegemony of the larger society and not really the 'lever of revolutionary transformation.'"
