Some of the students in our classrooms doubt their intellectual strengths--their knowledge, abilities, and skills. They may be unaware of the intellectual strengths they have, or may ignore, lack confidence in, or under-estimate them. They may even incorrectly judge themselves to be intellectually inferior to their peers. Students who do such…

In this article we share the work we have done as teacher educators in developing a third-year undergraduate module which nurtures our students to develop their own pedagogic vision and to consider themselves 'change agents' able to orient themselves within social and political structures rather than merely adapting to the status quo. We locate…

Anti-racist and anti-oppressive supervision remains a burgeoning area of scholarship and research within the counselor education nomenclature. In this paper, we explore how matters of race and racism are conspicuously underemphasized in counselor training, specifically, the supervision process. We explore the hidden curriculum in counselor…

This comprehensive book provides a theoretical understanding of how imagination contributes to effective leadership, as well as practical tools all educational leaders can employ to cultivate their imaginations and the imaginations of others in their communities. To support these goals, book chapters offer multiple perspectives on what imagination…

While the national conversation about antiracism and racism has introduced a new vocabulary to many Americans, far fewer deeply understand their meanings and applications to everyday life. This article selected seven of these vocabulary terms and applied them to the classroom and student services for secondary and postsecondary students. These…

Doctoral education is a time of profound identity shaping. Educational leadership continues to be dominated by assumptions about Whiteness and maleness as well as calls to center social justice in the educational leadership curriculum. In this paper, I describe the critical pedagogical approaches and underpinnings I used in the genesis,…

How can educators create space for students to practice making the worlds we are trying to collectively build? Inspired by genealogies that are grounded in and emerge from social movements, this paper uplifts the possibilities, tensions, and new questions that emerge when we take seriously the role of our classroom pedagogies. The authors offer a…

Employment is a defining aspect of adult life as well as a protective factor for youth involved in the juvenile justice system, but employment rates for juvenile-justice-involved youth are substantially lower than for their noninvolved peers. Interventions have been developed to increase employment for juvenile-justice-involved youth, yet few…

Globally, young people are asking questions about social responsibility. California addresses this in the second draft of its updated mathematics framework, still unreleased as this article goes to press. It defines these questions as authentic, suggesting that classrooms "include, at times . . . contexts students can engage with as a way to…

With an increasingly diverse UK population and differences in outcomes and experiences, educational psychologists (EPs) need actively to adhere to and promote principles of equality and equity. Although there is limited engagement with social justice issues in the professional and ethical guidelines in the UK, there has been a growing body of…

More than two-thirds of U.S. adults fall below recommended guidelines for physical activity (PA). One possible explanation for this is decreased feelings of self-efficacy and heightened discomfort in exercise settings among persons in special populations. Increasing social justice-based education and experiences is important for creating an…

Employment is a defining aspect of adult life as well as a protective factor for youth involved in the juvenile justice system, but employment rates for juvenile-justice-involved youth are substantially lower than for their noninvolved peers. Interventions have been developed to increase employment for juvenile-justice-involved youth, yet few…

An educational praxis that is concerned with citizen formation ought to aim at the development of critical consciousness and critical thinking, but little research has addressed the dynamics of critical consciousness in mathematical modeling activities. This study aims to characterise and understand the manifestation of critical thinking and…

This article draws on my time as a classroom teacher and my experience as a museum educator affiliated with the Center for Restorative History to argue for learning that centers relationships over education that centers measurement. The world we live in is shaped by a logic that prioritizes categorization, regulation, and metrics measured against…

I begin this article with an anecdote to highlight how mestizaje is an anti-Black discourse. In the next section I theorize about "mestizaje" as an anti-Black discourse. There is a relatively new body of scholarship within Black studies called "Afropessimism." This intellectual field has central to it the ideas of the…
