Abstract: Researchers, policy centers, and professional organizations have identified social justice issues related to teacher certification and retention, and have published recommendations for addressing these issues. This article uses one such issue -- the underrepresentation of students of color in passing scores on teacher certification exams -- as an example of how one scholar shifted her focus from research to activism. This article challenges scholars to engage in academic activism to work toward positive change as a necessary extension of social justice research.
