It's Not What They Call You, But What You Answer To
Along my career journey, I became the director of a campus-based child care program at Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC). While I suspect that some of the staff knew this bit of history, I remember the look of shock on the face of one staff member in particular as she apologized. [...]here in Wisconsin one of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign ads proclaimed, \"Educators and child care workers are now eligible for COVID-19 vaccines.\" In the draft Power to the Profession documentation and now as pa rt of the Unifying Framework for the Early Childhood Education Profession, the recommendation is that those of us who work in the early childhood education profession be in three distinct and meaningful designations (Early Childhood Educator I, II, and III) and that all early childhood educators hold a license to practice.

Songs caged birds sing: Letters between brothers and sisters
In an open letter originally addressed to Rocco, a Black man and childhood schoolmate subjected to the ills of the School-to-Prison Pipeline, I felt compelled to ask the \"unasked question\" W.E.B. Du Bois confronts in The Souls of Black Folk - \"How does it feel to be a problem?\" While I pose the same question to Rocco specifically, I also invite other Black brothers and sisters to put words to the struggle to get free and be free. By speaking to our lived experiences as Black youth navigating systems of oppression, I underscore the subtle and overt ways Black bodies are rendered dispensable and valueless. Knitting together our stories and voices culminates in a counter-narrative that calls for justice. Rejecting education as the practice of modern day slavery, we instead call for education as the practice of freedom–a call, which counters the never-ending violence inflicted on the Black body, mind, and spirit.
