The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological qualitative study was to explore the lived experiences of African American preservice teachers in a predominantly White university. Four students enrolled in an undergraduate teaching program for licensure participated. The research question was, What are the lived experiences of African American preservice teachers in a predominantly White teacher training program in a land grant university in an Upper Midwestern state? Critical race theory was applied as a framework for analysis and understanding of the intricacy of structural racism as narrated by the participants. Data were collected utilizing a three-phased and in-depth phenomenological interviews based on the model developed by Seidman. The interviews were conducted over 3 weeks. Each interview lasted from 60–90 minutes. Coding and analysis of the transcribed data led to the emergence of three themes: (a) racism, (b) self-awareness, and (c) self-actualization. The results suggested that African American preservice teachers are overwhelmed by multifaceted racist encounters. The findings focused uniquely on the experiences of African Americans who are yet to be fully licensed. However, it gives substantial confirmation to past studies on the overall campus and classroom experiences of African Americans in predominantly White institutions.

As racial demographics of students in schools are becoming more diverse, the racial demographics of teachers remains predominantly White. Adding to this, many White teachers are unprepared in the skills of racial literacy and lack the ability to address racist power structures within both the curriculum and their teaching practices. The purpose of this study is to understand how White teachers describe their preparedness to utilize racial literacy skills in their pedagogical practice. More specifically, this phenomenological study is to explore the lived experiences of how White 7-12 grade teachers utilize racial literacy in a public-school setting in Southeastern Pennsylvania, and the development they have received in learning about and addressing race or racism in pre-service or in-service teacher professional development programs. The research questions this study addresses are: 1) How do White teachers integrate racial literacy into their pedagogical practices? 2) What pre-service and/or professional development training related to racial literacy do White teachers describe experiencing? 3) What strategies do White teachers currently use to address race in the curriculum, teaching, and learning? Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, a document analysis of teaching documents participants utilize that demonstrate racial literacy, and notes from a researcher's journal. Findings of this study may be used to better support racial literacy for White teachers who work with diverse students of color, enhance training around racial literacy that is provided by teacher education programs and school district-led professional development, and fill a gap in the research related to the racial literacy of White teachers. Keywords: racial literacy, White teachers, teacher development, pre-service teaching, White teacher identity

What does it mean for teacher education to seize this moment to confront racism and inequities that continue to perpetuate in society and school? The book highlights efforts that are being augmented to prepare teacher candidates and future faculty to address systemic racism in their teaching practices.

The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological investigation was to explore and ascribe meaning to the lived and professional experiences of African American male educators as functions of the practices (i.e., systemic policies and interactions with colleagues) of a suburban school system. The philosophical frameworks guiding this study were Critical Race Theory (Bell, 1970) and Tokenism (Kanter, 1977) as they relate, respectively, to the effects of engendered racism and the implications of the invisibility and hypervisibility associated with being Black male instructors. The three related sub-questions involved (1) the contributing roles of school systems’ procedures to the encounters of this group of educators (2) the additive impact of this phenomenon as a result of Black male teachers’ interactions with colleagues and educational stakeholders and (3) meanings assigned to these experiences as related to race, racism, and tokenism. The data was collected via open-ended, semi-structured interviews, an analysis of participant-provided professional artifacts, and a focus group with select respondents. Participants’ feedback was recorded via an electronic device and subsequently transcribed to ensure the accuracy of teachers’ responses. Data analysis was conducted using the tenets of hermeneutic phenomenology as defined by van Manen (1997) to include epoché, imaginative variation, clustering of recurring themes, and ascription of meaning. Factors related to gender, race, racism, and the emblematic status of being a Black man were found to impact the ways in which male educators of color assigned levels of significance to their lived and professional experiences. The aforementioned analysis created the basis for findings and implications of the current study as well as recommendation of additional topics for future investigation.

Confronting Racism in Teacher Education aims to transform systematic and persistent racism through in-depth analyses of racial justice struggles and strategies in teacher education. By bringing together counternarratives of critical teacher educators, the editors of this volume present key insights from both individual and collective experiences of advancing racial justice. Written for teacher educators, higher education administrators, policy makers, and others concerned with issues of race, the book is comprised of four parts that each represent a distinct perspective on the struggle for racial justice: contributors reflect on their experiences working as educators of Color to transform the culture of predominately White institutions, navigating the challenges of whiteness within teacher education, building transformational bridges within classrooms, and training current and inservice teachers through concrete models of racial justice. By bringing together these often individualized experiences, Confronting Racism in Teacher Education reveals larger patterns that emerge of institutional racism in teacher education, and the strategies that can inspire resistance.

The “ideal” 21st century public school teacher has a keen understanding of the racialized history of education and has already taken a critical stance regarding that history. This teacher is a changemaker and able to create classroom conditions that enable all children and youth to be changemakers as well. In order to assist teachers to become this ideal educator, antiracist professional development must be undertaken. Antiracist professional development has as its goal the transformation of teachers for the eventual transformation of classroom environments, instruction, and curricula to provide for equitable and inclusive educational experiences, particularly for students of color. Unfortunately, such transformative teacher professional development has been in short supply in the age of high-stakes standardized testing and the deprofessionalization of the teaching profession. Antiracist Professional Development for In-Service Teachers: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a crucial reference book that addresses the historical, sociological, and pedagogical background concerning racial issues in education. It proposes an antiracist model for professional development as a tool for transforming schools and teachers to be critically sensitive changemakers. Drawing upon more than 20 years of developing a transformative teaching master’s program, the book includes data from the authors’ national survey of teacher professional development, assignment examples, teacher work products, and the authors’ self-critique/reflections on their efforts to support teachers in transforming their practice. The book also presents the voices of P-12 teachers, including those who thought that they already “knew it all,” the new teacher at a punitive public charter school with high turnover, teachers who took leadership within the school and in the larger community, and teachers who significantly changed their classroom practice for the long-term. Moreover, the authors offer policy recommendations for teacher professional development experiences that meet the needs of all teachers; experiences that provide support for teachers’ professional growth, that have an immediate impact on student learning, and that create the conditions for school communities to work together as changemakers. It includes an epilogue that considers the urgency of these issues as were revealed by the 2020 global pandemic. As such, this book is ideal for teachers, teacher educators, educational leaders, administrators, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and students.

Despite the best intentions of teacher educators, diversity awareness in teacher education typically reproduces a racial hierarchy privileging Whiteness while also educating preservice teachers against this very hierarchy. The phenomenon, which is effortless and easily reproduced, is constructed in part through student self-expression, peer interaction, and instructional practices. This inquiry follows White undergraduate students in a state university through an academic semester in order to capture autobiographical reporting at the outset, asynchronous, peer-mediated, online discussions at the mid-term, and concludes with personal reflections on self-perceptions of growth. Using grounded theory, this phenomenological study examines participants’ relationships to White privilege in order to improve instructional practices in the teacher education classroom. The relationship between the private and public faces of participants is analogous to the micro-level and macro-level function of their words which is organized using a theoretical framework where critical pedagogy (micro-level) and critical race theory (macro-level) serve as interpretive lenses. These lenses provide a wide view of participants’ experiences in the course and increases what is known about the instructional experiences in teacher education. This inquiry suggests that the teacher education classroom is an ideal space to shift the focus from intellectualization to self-actualization. Teacher educators can provide opportunities where students’ insights help dissolve the barrier between the “real world” and the classroom. A sense of pedagogical wholeness that includes one’s self is needed in order for preservice teachers to become antiracist educators who will provide the appropriate environment and support their future students will need.
