ELA isn’t dead.

It just needs to be revived, reimagined, and remembered differently.

In this episode of Our Classroom, Roberto Germán reflects on why imagination, joy, speculative thinking, and culturally relevant literacy practices matter now more than ever in ELA classrooms.

This conversation explores:

  • How ELA became overly compliance-driven
  • Why imagination is rigorous academic work
  • The role of Black scholarship in literacy education
  • Why students need more than test prep
  • How literature can help students envision a better world
  • What it means to create classrooms rooted in possibility, identity, and academic joy

This episode also introduces:
