LYNSEY BURKINS
Director of Professional Learning and Teacher Advocacy
Lynsey Burkins is an elementary educator from Central Ohio. Racial and Social Justice work is one of her life’s greatest passions, her interest in it sparking long before her teaching days. After completing her masters (2009) in language, literacy, and culture from The Ohio State University, her work for critical literacy with young children became a primary focus for her. She believes books are primary vehicles to help children become more free. Lynsey is currently the National Chair of NCTE’s Build Your Stack, an initiative that works to build teacher’s expertise in knowing and using quality literature in the classroom.
