Unpacking power
This study examined the potential role of critical reflection as a tool to support pre-service early childhood teacher interns in understanding and questioning pedagogical choices witnessed in their preschool internships while developing their own socially responsible teaching capacity. This study contributes to the field of critical reflection in teacher education by emphasizing an analysis of power, using Patricia Hill Collins’ matrices of powe…
Recognition and resistance of settler colonialism in early childhood education
In this article, we utilize the Transformational Indigenous Praxis Model (TIPM) to analyze interviews from beginning teachers and teacher candidates in early childhood education who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC). Findings revealed that participants developed a degree of consciousness to name the settler-colonial constructs that impacted their practice, but their understanding was not enough to overcome such conditions.…
Why didn't I know this
Settler Colonialism is marked by the permanent move of mostly European settlers into other territories that requires the ongoing displacement and/or elimination of Indigenous peoples, the enslavement and dispossession of Indigenous peoples from Africa, and the individual ownership of land for capital gain. This displacement and elimination takes place in the curriculum with an impact on what is learned and not learned in schools. To counteract th…
Culturally sustaining pedagogies in education
In our original proposal, we wanted to challenge the Eurocentric and “pedagogical dominance of whiteness “(Baines et al., 2018) in curriculum, instruction and teacher education. We cited the stark
This Ain’t Gonna Work For Me”
In this article, we unpack our interracial research relationship over the course of 2 years and how the Afrocentric pedagogy of eldering evolved as we grew our relationship into one of mutual mentorship, from professor and student to co-researchers, co-teachers, and friends. This shifting of roles contributed to our sense of communal responsibility as our dialogue about race and our racial identities evolved from surface-level conversations to op…

Seeing the strange in the familiar
In this article, three educators share case studies describing racial biases and segregationist practices in early schooling. The authors draw upon critical race theory as a lens and employ critical discourse analysis to uncover classed and raced biases within and across three early childhood contexts. While the cases are situated in specific public school settings – a parent teacher association (PTA) fundraiser, a mandated literacy program, and …
Positioning in a Primary Writing Workshop
Drawn from a year-long study in a combined first- and second-grade classroom, this article presents an interpretive portrait of two young students engaged in spontaneous talk while writing. We analyze their conversations to explore the subject positions these student writers assumed, those they assigned each other, and the related functions they assigned the texts they composed. Through our close reading of their conversations, we develop an anal…
