  In Roundtable Session: The Politics of Teacher Pedagogy: Preparation, Place, and Social Change (Table 7)

Abstract

Using the theoretical framework of the Communally Bonded Schooling Model (CBSM) (Morris, 2009, In Press), this inquiry combines historical analysis through primary and secondary sources and ethnographic methods to place the current teaching beliefs and practices of Black educators into a historical perspective. The ethnographic inquiry utilizes semi-structured qualitative interviews, participant observation, and basic thematic analysis to explore the teaching beliefs and practices of Black educators in a majority-Black suburb in the St. Louis area.
