COTY is an organic formation of readers of colors, who invite readers of all colors to join us in dialogue around diversity, equity, and inclusion - in order to address how these issues affect professional development, teaching, and learning practices as they relate to advanced placement educational opportunities.
The group is named for a line from
Chinua Achebe's novel

Children of the Yam History
In 1995, five faculty members from five different institutions began a dialogue around the under-representation of people of color in a variety of positions at the Advanced Placement reading. Their dialogue addressed issues of diversity and inclusion in all areas of advanced placement education.
The efforts of those five faculty members has resulted in continued dialogue through the organic formation of readers of color known as Children of the Yam or COTY.
TODAY: The Children of the Yam welcomes all educators interested in teaching practices that advocate for equity.

In 2012 - the COTY group, as presented by Caroline and Noreen, sounded so interesting that I just had to add ONE MORE THING to my plate.
