35.061 - Platforms of Resistance in the Lives of Teachers Past and Present

Fri, April 17, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Marriott, Floor: Sixth Level, Michigan/Michigan State

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Drawing on Achinstein & Ogawa's concept of "principled resistance," this symposium examines the purposes and practices of resistance in the lives of teachers. The researchers show that some forms of resistance enable teachers to take political stance, stake a moral claim, push against the demoralizing effects of policy and to shape their own pedagogy. An examination of resistance reveals teachers' core beliefs about roles, their students, schooling and education. Each member of the symposium will present the contexts and conditions for teachers’ resistance, strategies that teachers employ in their resistance, the grounds on which they engage in resistance and the outcomes and significance of teacher resistance past and present. The chair and discussant are activist public school teachers.
