About Jeff Duncan-Andrade
If there is one thing that Jeff Duncan-Andrade knows for sure, it’s this: If you find something that’s not working, change it. And that’s exactly what he has done. The longtime urban educator, researcher and activist felt that students in his community in East Oakland, California, who are mostly Black and Latinx, weren’t getting the education they deserved.
So Duncan-Andrade, a teacher and professor of Latina/o Studies and Race and Resistance Studies at San Francisco State University, co-founded a new school — the Roses in Concrete Community School. It’s a school that centers the wellness of its students above everything else — responding to the unique needs of the community as the pathway to social and academic rigor.
Duncan-Andrade also co-founded the Community Responsive Education Group and the Teaching Excellence Network (TEN) to support schools and districts to build and support similar practices in their communities. Read more about Dr. Duncan-Andrade >>
