In this keynote address, the author aims to encourage students to push the faculty who guide them, in order to bring amazing change to their profession. He urges each of them to work hard to sustain this organization as it moves forward. He discusses the importance of learning, supporting, and affirming diverse histories and communities. He argues that educators have an opportunity to bring a different kind of conversation in their classrooms--a different kind of opportunity to create new policy and to discuss where they can go and what they will do to introduce, improve, and promote critical thinking in their classrooms. He closes with an endorsement for "collective improvement." He shares his vision of "collective improvement" and the 'collaborative spirit" as the most significant step that policy makers, educators, and university faculty can take.
