“Professor Jones promotes and encourages legitimate growth that is more sustainable than simply explaining concepts and definitions associated with equity. She made a point to set us up, as future teachers, to not get burned out and discouraged…She emphasized the fact that there are no easy answers in achieving equity, and that effective equity work takes time and care…Professor Jones worked with us to build the tools to process and respond and build. We worked on the process, not the answers, and that is what we will be working with as educators.”

“Dr. Jones approaches issues of educational equity and positionality with an emphasis on building life-long strategies for creating an equitable space. Rather than giving reductionary equity definitions, she’s had us explore historically pervasive inequities within the education system and in our individual school sites. She has actively sought to give us the foundational tools to become active teachers working for the success of our students.”

“Time flies by so quickly as a teacher,” reflects Dr. Jones. “I have always learned so much from my students.”
