An Essential but Overlooked Workforce: Elevating the Need to Investigate the Career Development of Paraeducators
Recent research documents the positive impact that paraprofessionals have on student learning. Given these strengths, states and districts across the country have developed programs to attract and prepare paraprofessionals to become certified teachers. Despite increased interest in expanding pathways for the paraeducator workforce, research has also consistently revealed that paraeducators encounter obstacles along the career development continuu…
Playing with shadows: White academics’ rituals of goodness
This essay explores how good intentioned white academics can hijack the important essence of anti-racism work and allows whiteness to invade the site. During the process of participating in anti-racist meetings and events many white academics are more occupied with advancing their positive white identity than liberating people of color through anti-racism work. By doing so, they allow whiteness to creep in and make anti-racism work benefit them, …
“What hypocrites!”: Interactions between Japanese international and white domestic students in a U.S. teacher education programme
This two-year-long qualitative study investigated how white teacher candidates at a U.S. university interacted with two international teacher candidates from Japan. Findings reveal that the participants stopped interacting with their white peers because the interactions did not occur on equal grounds, and they disliked the fact that they were always positioned as lower and subordinate. The participants were resistant to the new power relations in…

A visit to purgatory: Cultural mismatch between a Japanese international teacher candidate and her American supervisors and mentor teachers
Voices of teacher candidates of color on white race evasion: ‘I worried about my safety!’
This qualitative study investigated the negative impacts minority teacher candidates receive from white teacher candidates in a required multicultural education class. The findings reveal that four teacher candidates of color had difficulty positioning themselves among the overwhelming silencing power of whiteness in the class. The white students were tactful at evading power and race and flattening the existing hierarchical power relations throu…
Stereotypes in Disguise: The Dual School Lives of Japanese Immigrant Students
This study investigated how Japanese adolescents behaved and performed in differing educational contexts. A qualitative analysis of 12 male and 11 female students revealed that they were quiet and reserved and fit the model minority stereotype while attending public/private schools in an urban region of the northwestern part of the United States. In contrast, at a Japanese weekend school the same students were relaxed, loud, and careless about ac…
