Muhammad's goal is to help young people flourish and see the joy in themselves and others. She maintains that a sense of identity is a critical part of intellectual development. Muhammad's framework offers practical and inspirational ways to engage students within and beyond classroom walls. She will share resources, literacy strategies and activities that accentuate students' strengths and promote competence, connection and achievement for all children.

Muhammad is an associate professor of language and literacy at the University of Illinois Chicago.
