Sat, April 11, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Gold Level, Gold 3Session Type: Roundtable Session
Abstract
This paper session centers Black teachers’ identity development, professional growth, and liberatory praxis across teacher-preparation contexts. Through empirical and narrative approaches, presenters trace how educators reconstruct the Black teaching tradition, create fugitive professional communities, and redefine authority and care. The session advances models of teacher education grounded in self-definition, communal accountability, and radical love.
