Student Experiences and Benefits of Taking Ethnic Studies: Lessons From Three School Districts
Fri, April 25, 8:00 to 9:30am MDT (8:00 to 9:30am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 106Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
This session will examine benefits of secondary students taking ethnic studies (ES) courses, through multiple methods and across three district research-practice partnerships in the U.S. southwest. The first paper describes effects of expanding ES in a northern California district using a student-fixed effects design within an event-study framework. The second paper describes the effects of taking ES in a southern California district with a mixed methods lens, examining effects through longitudinal student-level administrative data and through the voices and perspectives of teachers and students. The last paper centers student and teacher testimonios from a southwestern district, highlighting how ES pedagogies and practices cultivate community centered spaces. An ethnic studies scholar and educator will reflect on the papers and their implications.
