Letitia Basford is a professor in the School of Education & Leadership and co-director of the Master’s in Teaching program. Letitia became a K-12 teacher-educator to inspire transformative teaching practices and policies that promote equity and access. Today, she remains deeply invested in these goals and infuses her research into her courses, tapping into the wealth of experience that her students bring to the classroom.
She has studied and written about teachers’ experiences advocating for an inclusive curriculum, a family’s experience in the school-to-prison pipeline, as well as schools that effectively prevent that pipeline, and the school experiences of Somali and Hmong youth in culturally specific charter schools. Most recently, Letitia has been studying the experiences of K-2 teachers as they implement a Science of Reading-informed literacy curriculum. She has also been investigating the experiences of Hamline professors who are employing high-impact teaching practices for the first time.
Before coming to Hamline, Letitia taught middle and high school students English as a Second Language and was also a teen-parent teacher in northern California. When not teaching, she spends time with her two daughters and husband, traveling, listening to music, and enjoying the outdoors.
