Pipe Dreams: Humanizing the Teaching Profession and Pipeline Through Liberatory Imagining

Thu, April 11, 12:40 to 2:10pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 104A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

What has been classified as a teacher shortage is in reality system failure. While demanding TK-12 teachers create inclusive, culturally relevant safe spaces for students, especially students of color, we have fallen short on providing teachers with learning experiences and working conditions that reflect and honor these values. This symposium dares to ask, “How can we create a pipeline and profession that radically supports teachers, particularly teachers of color?” The researchers and practitioners in this symposia utilize various methodologies and liberatory frameworks to interrogate the racial injustices within the teaching profession and to contemplate the educational possibilities of reimagining our practices and restructuring our systems to care for and uplift teachers as public servants who serve the public good.
