Engagement Is a Practice: Rethinking Equity in School-Community Partnerships

Sun, April 12, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 2nd Floor, Platinum J

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium is a multifaceted examination of how teachers and community-members are prepared to cultivate more equitable and collaborative relationships. Inspired by research that highlights the power of reciprocal school-family relationships and the dearth of education supporting that work, these five studies examine preparation for collaboration through the lens of teacher learning, teacher educator pedagogy, institutional and structural lenses, and family learning. Utilizing mixed methods and drawing from an array of contexts, we ask what is required for collaboration to flourish and what kinds of learning teachers and families may need to prepare for these relationships. The session’s empirical data, theoretical conclusions, and applied tools have implications for teacher education, school design, and community investment.
