15.029 - Transforming University-Based Teacher Education: Preparing Asset-, Equity-, and Justice-Oriented Teachers Within the Contemporary Political Context

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

This symposium seeks to move beyond rhetoric and address real and urgent problems in university-based teacher education. In situated ways, the presenters examine institutional and instructional practices that support the preparation and development of asset, equity, and social justice oriented teachers and teacher educators as they simultaneously offer theoretical perspectives and methodological tools to study such teacher and teacher educator learning environments. In doing so, this symposium seeks to trouble a status quo of inequities and move toward spaces of possibility in and through university-based teacher education.
