Educators Working Toward Equitable, Collaborative Engagement With Historically Marginalized Families: Developing Competence, Commitment, and Skill
Sat, April 13, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 3, Room 306Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
In this session, we examine four different U.S.-based family engagement programs aimed at supporting teachers and foregrounding families as teachers developed the cultural competence and technical skill necessary for engaging with historically marginalized families in equitable and solidarity-focused ways. These programs spanned preservice and inservice teachers, multiple U.S. states/regions, and families marginalized because of a variety of identities. We share a theoretical framework that takes into account the findings and lessons of the four previous papers and invite discussion aimed at inspiring broader adaptation and application of this work. Family partnership work, particularly with historically marginalized families, is a vital component of dismantling racial injustice and constructing educational possibilities.
