On the list of twenty steps to becoming a more equitable educator, I applaud the section on challenging one another as professionals to grow and mature. If we do not keep one another in check, we give away our power. We force ourselves to be regulated by textbook publishers, politicians, and others bent on keeping the status quo. I know educators do not like confrontation and typically want to keep the peace, but it is through conflict and struggle that we grow. All of us who have gone through this EdS program know what it means to grow from struggle. We need to create an atmosphere of professionalism that lends a forum for open discussion and challenge one another in all areas of our craft including multiculturism.
