52.013 - Teacher Education for Equity: Community- and School-Based Practice
Sat, April 18, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Hyatt, Floor: West Tower - Gold Level, Regency ABSession Type: Invited Speaker Session
Abstract
This session, which features research on teacher education practice specifically intended to prepare teachers who work for equity and justice, examines teacher preparation in three countries—the U.S., New Zealand, and Canada. Collectively, the papers make it clear that putting equity and justice at the center of teacher preparation is challenging work, particularly when market-based approaches dominate education reform, test score accountability is paramount, and teacher quality—rather than social factors, such as poverty--is regarded as the cause of educational success or failure. These papers examine innovative community-based and/or school-based teacher preparation practices intended to draw on the knowledge traditions and interests of marginalized communities and prepare teacher candidates who work with others to challenge inequities in schools and society.
