Critical Friends Fostering Culturally Responsive Pedagogy

Session Submission Type: Alternative Format Session

Abstract

Given the 2020 theme of All of Us are Smarter than Each of Us, this alternative session presents a collaborative self-study that came together to improve nine literacy teacher education professionals’ implementation of anti-racist teaching. Through monthly video conferences, book study, shared readings and assignments for our methods courses, we became a critical professional community to support and challenge each other to re-center equity in our professional lives.
