Abstract
In an examination of a university-school partnership, this chapter contextualizes the experiences of contemporary community school coordinators within the origins of community schooling. Findings from this examination emphasize the tenets and foundations essential to effective and critical partnering. A discussion ensues focused on the necessity of honest conversations regarding the relationships between schools and their communities.
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.
