Sitting in on EDUC 1301: Introduction to the Teaching Profession at Odessa College last semester, Pervis Evans is conscious that he doesn’t quite fit in with the other students, a majority of whom are recent high school graduates. But that doesn’t deter him at all. Just as much as they are, he’s attending as an enrolled student, completing assignments and participating in discussions – and, he also happens to be the community college’s Dean of Liberal Arts and Education.

The College Board's decision to revise its African American Studies curriculum has come under fire from many who argue that the changes are motivated by political pressure rather than pedagogical considerations. The new curriculum, which is stripped of much of the subject matter that the DeSantis administration opposed, has been criticized for erasing the experiences of Black writers and scholars associated with critical race theory, reparations, the queer experience, and Black feminism.

Whether a new semester or new school year, it just doesn’t get old! I’ve taught two first year-experience courses as an assistant professor in the Academic Strategies Department. Both courses are designed to prepare students with the necessary academic learning and study skills to tackle the rigors of college.
