Tom Roderick is an educator, activist, and writer based in New York City. He is the author of Teach for Climate Justice: A Vision for Transforming Education (Harvard Education Press, June 2023). Tom came to education through the civil rights movement in the sixties and taught in Harlem and East Harlem for ten years, including seven years as teacher-director of a storefront school led by parents. For thirty-six years he served as founding executive director of Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsibility, started in 1982 by educators concerned about the danger of nuclear war. Over the years he led Morningside Center to become a national leader in partnering with schools to implement high-quality, research-based programs in social and emotional learning (SEL), restorative practices, and racial equity. In May 2018, the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) awarded Tom its Mary Utne O’Brien Award for Excellence in Expanding Evidence-Based Practice of Social and Emotional Learning. Tom has a bachelor’s degree in history from Yale University and a master’s degree and honorary doctorate from Bank Street College of Education. He is the author of A School of Our Own: Parents, Power, and Community at the East Harlem Block Schools (Teachers College Press, 2001). Tom retired from Morningside Center at the end of 2018 and spent the next four years researching and writing Teach for Climate Justice. He is currently working to promote the book and the larger project of which it is a part: to build a movement to bring transformative climate justice education to millions of educators, children, and young people throughout the United States and beyond.
