Justice Seekers: A Movement in the Making
How One Book is Transforming Teaching, One Classroom at a Time
Justice Seekers was born from Lacey Robinson’s personal and professional journey through the classroom, school leadership, and national education work. The book responds to a central question: What happens when the quality of instruction depends on a student’s background rather than their potential? Lacey and the UnboundEd community wrote this book to challenge that reality and to support educators who are committed to ensuring that every child receives instruction that reflects their ability to succeed.
The book dives into the mechanics of classroom practice — how lessons are delivered, how expectations are set, and how teachers engage students with grade-level content. At its heart is the concept of GLEAM® Instruction: learning that is grade-level, engaging, affirming, and meaningful. Justice Seekers weaves together research, real-life examples, and Lacey’s own experiences to show how small choices in curriculum and teaching methods can either hold students back or help them thrive.
Lacey Robinson has penned this book as a love letter to educators, and I truly feel the love. Each section of the book is filled with hope and commitment to our children and to the education profession . . . Lacey beautifully and masterfully interweaves her lived experience as an educator with sound research supporting the need for teachers adopt 'GLEAM' as they provide all children with grade-level, engaging, and meaningful instruction. Lacey’s passion has reinvigorated me as a professional educator. I recommend all educators accept Lacey’s love letter to us and leverage it to ensure we continue to fight the good fight.
Since its release, Justice Seekers has found a broad audience among educators, especially those looking to sharpen their practice and hold themselves to higher standards. It became an Amazon “Top Selling Book” shortly after publication, reflecting its timely message and practical relevance. At UnboundEd’s Standards Institute™, the book sparked rich conversations and reflection accompanied by exclusive book signing events, where Lacey connected directly with teachers and leaders. Many left inspired to reexamine how they plan, teach, and support students, down to the smallest instructional detail.
Looking forward, there is hope that Justice Seekers will continue to play a meaningful role in teacher preparation programs, professional learning, and school-wide improvement efforts. Its lessons are meant to be lived — not just read — and the book offers a blueprint for classrooms that challenges assumptions and raises expectations. By focusing on effective instruction that honors the talents of every single student, Justice Seekers provides a path for teaching that is both rigorous and deeply human.
Justice Seekers is a love letter to educators and a call to action: to notice what has often gone unnoticed, and to take responsibility for the everyday decisions that shape how children learn. Lacey’s message is clear — the path to lasting change in education runs through the classroom, and the time to act is now.
