Critiquing the hegemonic narratives that reinforce white supremacy within teacher education

• In Event: CANCELLED: Critiquing the hegemonic narratives that reinforce white supremacy within teacher education

Abstract

This session will explore ways to challenge the damaging narratives currently embedded within the foundations of teacher education programs. These false perceptions about urban schools and students contribute to the inequities in the current education system. This session is grounded in the experiences of pre-service teachers within a teacher education program at a predominately White institution. The goal of every teacher should be to challenge hegemonic narratives that reinforce the status quo and ultimately transform and humanize the education system for all students.
