About me
Brent Saccucci is an award-winning educator, researcher, and equity consultant with over a decade of experience transforming classrooms and schools. His favourite thing in the world is teaching!
In K-12 contexts, Brent has served as a district equity consultant, school guidance counsellor, literacy interventionist, and IB teacher. In teacher education, Brent has taught student-teachers at both the University of Alberta and at the University of British Columbia. As Adjunct Professor at UBC, Brent developed and taught a new undergrad/graduate course “Social Justice Leadership for Teachers,” equipping educators to navigate difficult conversations in schools around power, privilege, and oppression. Brent’s classes are inquiry-based, participatory, and always include a healthy dose of humour.
Brent holds two master's in education: An MEd in Curriculum Studies from the University of Alberta and an MA from the University of Toronto, where his SSHRC-funded research was completed at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). Currently, Brent is a doctoral student in Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion Education at Western University where his research intersects between curriculum studies (particularly research-creation and new literacy studies) and educational foundations (the sociology of knowledge and schooling). Brent is currently an Instructor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Lethbridge, where he teaches and has developed new courses in literacy education and the social contexts of education. He is also a full-time high school English & Social Studies teacher at Lethbridge Collegiate Institute (LCI).
Outside of being an education nerd, Brent performs amateur stand up comedy and poetry and spends time with his musical husband and their oppositionally-defiant French bulldog.
