Dr. Tanji gives you the historical background and encouragement you need to stay in the fight for our students. She validates your feelings of frustration and overwhelm but doesn’t let you stay there!
Cheryl Holcomb-McCoy, PhD
Dean and Distinguished Professor, School of Education, American University
Dr. Tanji Reed Marshall lands a seminal read that is not to be missed! Understanding Your Instructional Power is a unique teacher-oriented book that addresses instruction within the context of power and the impact of teachers' power on students' learning and perceptions of self. The Power Principle matrix should be taught in every teacher training program because it masterfully depicts the power teachers have in instructional decision making—from empowering to disenfranchising.

I am so glad I signed up for this PD! As an educator of over 30 years, I love to continue to build my knowledge of how I can reach all students. This session was full of relevant information to help build student agency. We learned to understand how our teaching style has been shaped by our younger years! Lots of self reflection after this PD! Loved it!

This was the beginning of such a meaningful and important conversation about presence vs. true representation is curricular materials. As we work to make our HQIM increasingly culturally responsive and sustaining, I look forward to diving deeper into this and am so thankful for the language and framing Tanji shared in this session.
