Towards Youth Participatory Teacher Education

Fri, April 10, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 3rd Floor, Atrium I

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Despite being central stakeholders in education, youth remain mostly absent from teacher education. This symposium advances a broader vision of what we term “Youth Participatory Teacher Education” (YPTE) by both exploring its conceptual foundations and novel applications. Papers revolve around how teacher education can be transformed around two conceptual centers: that youth are knowers about teaching and stakeholders in teacher education; and that youth can authentically participate in teacher education pedagogies and structures that shape the joint enterprise of how teachers learn how to teach. By coalescing around what YPTE is and can be, this session imagines how youth participation can democratize teacher education and transform schooling towards more just futures.
