Colin Seale

Colin Seale was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, where struggles in his upbringing gave birth to his passion for educational equity. Tracked early into gifted and talented programs, Colin was afforded opportunities his neighborhood peers were not. Using lessons from his experience as a math teacher, later as an attorney, and now as a keynote speaker, contributor to Forbes, The 74, Edutopia and Education Post and author of Thinking Like a Lawyer: A Framework for Teaching Critical Thinking to All Students (Prufrock Press, 2020) and Tangible Equity: A Guide for Leveraging Student Identity, Culture, and Power to Unlock Excellence In and Beyond the Classroom (Routledge, available spring 2022), Colin founded thinkLaw (www.thinklaw.us), a multi-award-winning organization to help educators leverage inquiry-based instructional strategies to close the critical thinking gap and ensure they teach and reach all students, regardless of race, zip code or what side of the poverty line they are born into. When he’s not serving as the world’s most fervent critical thinking advocate or tweeting from @ColinESeale, Colin proudly serves as the world’s greatest entertainer to his two young children.

Colin Seale Keynote Address:
Tangible Equity: An Instructional Framework for Identity, Excellence, and Leadership In and Beyond the Gifted Classroom
School systems have formed their equity workshops, written their equity plans, trained educators in implicit bias workshops and conducted lots of book studies. But what does educational equity look like on Tuesday morning for a 4th grade general education teacher? How can educators prioritize the need to think with an equity lens with the pressures of ensuring academic success? Why do some educators who deeply believe in the promise of educational equity still struggle with inequitable academic and disciplinary outcomes in their own classrooms? This interactive session by Colin Seale, founder and CEO of thinkLaw and author of Thinking Like a Lawyer: A Framework for Teaching Critical Thinking for All Students, will break down powerful but practical strategies to make equity real at the classroom level.
