Preparing White Teachers for Anti-Racist Education

Using a framework combining Critical Race Theory and Critical Reflection and Generativity for Transformative Praxis, this book examines both how white preservice teachers conceive of race and racism (habits of mind) and how they react when dealing with race and racism in the classroom (patterns of acting). With firm grounding in real-world data, the authors detail ways in which teacher educators can recognize and deal with preservice teachers who cannotor will nottranslate their reflections on race into actions against racism.

Bridges the gap between reflection and teaching practice among preservice teachers Presents models for helping preservice teachers to become sensitized and thoughtfully responsive Grounded in critical race theory and historical awareness Includes a guide for further reading

Klappentext

This book is for any of us who refuse to retreat from the work of anti-racism in education and society. Teachers deserve resources like this to inform their practices in pursuit of equity.

"This book fills an often identified but rarely addressed scholarly gap. In this text, readers will find both strategies for preparing teachers for racially diverse classrooms and essential practices for inviting novice educators to interrogate their assumptions."

Catherine Compton-Lilly, Professor, University of South Carolina, Columbia, USA

A timely, critical, and compelling book that addresses the need to rethink, reimagine, and restructure preservice and in-service teacher education to illuminate the anti-racist, educational dreams and possibilities educators can achieve.
