Abstract
This chapter focuses on the perspectives and conceptualizations of Black educators engaged in a school-university partnership that sought to examine and support 12 schools in engaging and implementing culturally based pedagogy through professional development. Findings from this chapter reveal that the educators’ privileged their experiential knowledge throughout the partnership and professional development experience. Specifically, the educators’ expression of how their lived experiences directly influenced their connectedness to the work of the partnership, their readiness to engage in the partnership, and their overall mistrust of their university partners was prevalent throughout the duration of the partnership.
Abstract
This chapter details the forces behind the Advancing Critical Pedagogy and Praxis across Educational Settings volume. In this work, we first provide the reader with statements of our perspectives and positionalities. We then provide an overview of the partnership project. From there we share what we have taken with us as we work to advance critical pedagogy and praxis by posing a critique of our enactments in and critical reflections on our partnership work focused on the facilitation of cultural competence within culturally responsive practice centers.
Advancing Critical Pedagogy and Praxis Across Educational Settings is both an inquiry and response of gratitude to the work of critical scholars, educators, practitioners, and researchers who honor the complex realities of partnerships between school communities and institutions of higher education. This volume centers the voices of those who explore across time and in between spaces to illuminate synergistic approaches, pathways to new ideas and consciousness, relationships of mutual respect, and human-centered perspectives. This collective of narratives reveals the power of local schools and communities partnering with universities and organizations to disrupt inequitable social processes. The authors interrogate the creation and permeation of boundaries to understand interconnectivity of educational practices, community, and the impact of social contexts.
