Addressing Issues of Equity Through Critical (Multilingual) Language Awareness in Teacher Education
Wed, April 23, 4:20 to 5:50pm MDT (4:20 to 5:50pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 705Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
Responding to the 2025 AERA call to engage in research, remedy and repair to move towards just educational renewal, this symposium brings together a group of scholars and teacher educators from diverse backgrounds who address the “equity issue” in teacher education (Cochran-Smith, 2023). The symposium contributes to advancing critical approaches to pre-service teacher (PST) education in multilingual contexts through a shared vision of how teacher education programs can prepare PSTs to support educational experiences of students from marginalized communities by developing their critical multilingual language awareness.
