Preparation for Equitable Family and Community Engagement That Leads to Culturally Responsive/Sustaining Pedagogy

Fri, April 25, 9:50 to 11:20am MDT (9:50 to 11:20am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 711

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In this session, we present findings from studies of inservice and preservice teachers as they develop their family engagement skills across racial, ethnic, language, (dis)ability, religious, political affiliation, socio-economic, and geographic difference. Our collective work, framed by Mapp and Bergman (2021) and the Family Engagement Core Competencies (NAFSCE, 2022), examines how family engagement dispositions and practices are intentionally developed through a social justice and critical consciousness lens–an integral part of culturally responsive/sustaining pedagogy (CR-SP). We also examine one family engagement practice to understand its relationship to CR-SP and what has yet to be studied. This symposium is intended to inform the field and to push further the rigor and relevance of equity-focused family and community engagement scholarship.
