Community Schools: A Strategy for Supporting and Sustaining (BIPOC) Teachers
Sun, April 14, 9:35 to 11:05am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 103BSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium centers educational research on the community schools strategy and the experiences of teachers working within these school settings to address longstanding injustices and inequities in education. Applying literature reviews, theoretical frameworks, and case studies, the four symposium papers identify themes, patterns, and emerging areas of inquiry about the role, experiences and career trajectories of community schools teachers, with an emphasis on Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) teachers. Together, these papers explore how community schools can provide the structural, organizational and cultural supports necessary that encourage teacher longevity.
