Traditionally, educator preparation programs only provide classes related to content, practical pedagogy, and classroom management. If we hope to see any level of justice in the education system, preparation programs must include courses that take an honest and deep dive into the ways in which racism shows up in schools and communities. Aspiring…

This study examines the culturally responsive teaching self-efficacy (CRTSE) of graduates from an undergraduate Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) program focused on social justice issues.

Critical pedagogues advocate a constructivist approach to learning emphasising the self-directed construction of knowledge from the learners' experiences while also expecting students to develop an explicit critique of the social order.

Civil engineering education must be updated to keep pace with the profession and move past a culture of disengagement where technical work is considered separate from societal impact.

Children in elementary schools think, talk, and reason in big ways that reflect how they live and experience race, racism, and racialization. Some elementary school teachers -- or critical-race teacher change agents -- intentionally include this work in their classrooms. My aim is to find out what motivates critical-race teacher change agents to…

Teacher education has made strides towards preparing preservice teachers with ambitious visions and teaching practices through the use of core practices, specifically the Ambitious Science Teaching (AST) framework (e.g. Kang & Windschitl, 2018). However, there is an argument in the field about whether the AST framework can support…

We analyze diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) reports from the top 20 "Fortune" 500 companies to particularly examine how these companies use visual design and representation to present an aspirational future that valorizes their current DEI efforts. We contend that if large corporations have the ability to affect outcomes among…
