Repositioning Youth of Color in Teacher Education
Sat, April 13, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 105ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Rooted in concerns about the ironic lack of youth voices and perspectives in teacher education, this symposium has two central purposes. The first is to draw attention to and problematize the dominant ways youth—both the concept and the people toward whom it points—are typically conceptualized and positioned within teacher education. Second, this symposium offers several ways teacher educators can meaningfully involve youth of color in teacher education through research-based innovations that reposition youth as educational consultants and teachers of pre- and in-service educators. Thus, this panel offers both an epistemological critique of dominant teacher education practices and pragmatic ways to imagine and implement equity-centered approaches to working with youth of color as an integral aspect of teacher preparation.
