A Nuanced Portrait of the Demographic Divide: Resisting Monolithic Representations of Teachers of Color
Fri, April 17, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Virtual RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
In this symposium, we enter into a conversation that has already started, but which is as of yet unresolved: what are the particular assets and struggles affecting teachers of Color and the important and critical ways that they can and must be supported? Taking on this question, we invite educators and scholars to nuance our understandings of the experiences of teachers of Color, pushing against monolithic representations that homogenize the assets and struggles of a wide group of people. This discussion will include, but is not limited to, challenges teachers of Color have faced in US public schools, the powerful ways they support student learning, and approaches and policies designed to retain and support them.
