Centering the Professional Development Needs of Pre- and In-Service Social Justice Educators of Color
Mon, April 11, 11:45am to 1:15pm, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Two, Marquis Salon 7Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
A radical shift towards transformative and liberatory education demands that we center and support the professional development needs of social justice teachers of color. Drawing from critical theoretical and methodological frameworks the panelists examine various contexts for addressing the specific professional development needs of teachers of color from pre-service into the field. The presenters explore four strands of inquiry: 1) a critical social justice praxis using radical professional development; 2) the narratives of social justice teachers through a teacher led space; 3) a critical autoethnography of a novice social justice teacher educator of color; and 4) grassroots organizing for social justice teacher-led professional development.
