Cornelius Minor's new book We Got This. Equity, Access, and the Quest to Be Who Our Students Need Us to Be simultaneously challenges the "teacher-as-superhero" trope while modeling how authentically listening to kids is the closest thing to a superpower that teachers have. Cornelius posits that we can change the teaching status quo by improving access, challenging harmful stereotypes, and disrupting systems that don't serve kids.
