73.051 - Race(ing) Teacher Education: Critical Race Theory as a Transformative Practice in Teacher Education

Mon, April 20, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Marriott, Floor: Third Level, Dupage

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

As critical race theory (CRT) scholars that work intimately with teachers along the teaching continuum, we draw upon the CRT to engage racial justice issues in teacher education. Collectively, this symposium pushes us to think about teacher education in more complex ways by exploring critical issues in teacher education including the absence of critical dialogues that center race in early childhood, the cultivation of false empathy in white teachers to the detriment of actually focusing on the needs of students who will be taught by these teachers in programs, the dispositions and practices of teachers in juvenile justice settings towards students of color and the marginalization of teacher educators who center race and racism in their teaching.
