Elementary Teachers’ Attributions for Racially Minoritized Students’ Classroom Behaviors
Disciplinary action towards racially minoritized students compared to their White peers is disproportionate and these actions often result from teachers’ lived experiences, socialized perceptions, or a homogenous teaching workforce consisting of predominantly White middle-class women with limited social interactions with minoritized communities. We used in-depth semi-structured interviews to explore nine elementary teachers’ perceptions of the re…

We used a sample…

Black, Latine, or White students ( N = 103) in the Midwest participated in 1 of 23 focus groups. We ident…

Moreover, efforts to implement CRE across schools and districts have recently been met by strong opposition from well-organized groups. In this essay, the authors point to scien…
