Seeking Support in Teacher Education for Racial Knowledge: The Role of Professional Networks and Social Identities
Urban Education, v59 n3 p694-723 2024
Drawing from the narrated experiences of teacher educators (TEs) at different institutions, this paper analyzes TEs' perceptions of support related to their work in teaching about race and racism. TEs varied in the extent to which they viewed their institution as supportive, and they identified factors that signaled that their institution supported teacher learning about race and racism. TEs also described how their racial identities and positional privilege related to tenure status informed engagement with peers both for providing and seeking support. Implications for teacher education programs in providing support for TEs who teach about race and racism are discussed.
