Culturally Sustaining Early Literacy Pedagogies and Our Futures

Wed, April 23, 12:40 to 2:10pm MDT (12:40 to 2:10pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 403

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

To foster restorative practices, it is crucial to create spaces that refuse popular literacy policy and discourse which has been anti-Black, overly focused on deficits, and has mandated linear, cultureless teaching approaches. As such, the proposed symposia foregrounds multilayered stories grounded in research findings on culturally sustaining pedagogies across a range of early literacy research and practice contexts. Our primary goal is for participants to be able to contribute to a more loving and just future of culturally sustaining pedagogies with and for Black and other minoritized young children.
