This presentation will describe a food environment intervention focused on converting corner stores in East Los Angeles and Boyles Heights, California, which are neighboring Latino communities classified as food swamps in Los Angeles. The intervention was youth- and community-engaged and involved high school students as community liaisons and high school teachers who created food justice curricula, among other intervention components.

The College of Education at UT Austin, in partnership with educational leaders and stakeholders across Texas, commissioned a study before the pandemic to examine how different pathways towards teacher certification lead to different outcomes for students and for teacher retention.
Join policymakers, community and foundation partners, school districts representatives and other education-focused colleagues for a generative, solutions-oriented discussion about the Texas Educator Preparation Pathways study, the teacher shortage, and issues related to teacher quality and retention. At the Teacher Tipping Point, we will unveil the report’s major findings, and identify areas of collective action to address the unprecedented challenges facing us today. A reception will follow. The agenda is available for viewing.
All faculty and staff members of the College of Education are invited to the annual College of Education Faculty and Staff Awards ceremony.

Join us for our Dean’s Special Lecture Series featuring Shamari Reid, assistant professor of Teaching & Learning at NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.
This important conversation recognizes the negative schooling experiences of Black LGBTQ+ youth, how the informal LGBTQ+ curriculum often centers whiteness, and the lack of clarity around what constitutes a formal LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum. During this discussion, Shamari will draw on Queer of Color Critique (QOCC) to present a different approach to designing a K-12 inclusive curriculum that affirms, celebrates and reflects the lived experiences of Black 2SLGBT+ youth.
Additionally, he will offer curricular examples of how a curriculum grounded in QOCC can resist reproducing an inclusive curriculum that centers whiteness and damage-centered narratives of LGBTQ+ individuals.
About the Speaker:
“I often refer to myself as an ordinary Black Gay cisgender man from Oklahoma with extraordinary dreams. Currently, that dream involves working with trans and queer communities of color to reimagine the ways we approach teaching and learning. I am grateful to continue this work in NYC as an incoming Assistant Professor of Teaching & Learning at NYU|Steinhardt. My specific research interests include Black youth agency, Black LGBTQ+ world-making, the role of critical love in education, and transformative teacher education.” Visit his website here.
