Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The forces of systemic racism have too frequently led teachers to view Black and Brown students’ ways of knowing as deficient. These deficit-based views often lead to rote instructional approaches (Gee, 2004; Salazar, 2013). However, Black and Brown children deserve to have their ways of knowing not only valued, but centered in the classroom (Cervantes et al., 2016; Rodriguez, 2013). Because of this, teachers’ enactment of student-centered practice is a vital component of equity initiatives. To support shifts in policy and practice, the field needs more research connecting student-centered approaches to teaching to student learning outcomes. This symposium presents research exploring the impacts of equitable, student-centered practices on student learning.
