Imagining a Just Future: The Generative Possibilities of Critical Race Theory for Classroom Practice

Sat, April 13, 9:35 to 11:05am, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 119B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Critical Race Theory supports equity and justice driven practices precisely because it centers the knowledge of those who have been silenced and marginalized within curriculum in formal (i.e., classroom) and informal (i.e., extracurricular) schooling experiences. From unique disciplinary and grade span vantage positions, this symposium explores how engagement with the principles of critical race theory transforms teacher practice and student learning “in ways that improve educational outcomes for Black, Brown, and Indigenous children and youth” (Lynn, 2019). Each author will explicitly address content (e.g., specific subject area) and skills (e.g., inquiry) standards without being prescriptive. Authors will also use the remaining time in dialogue with each other and the audience about implications and extensions of the work.
