It’s Like a Drop That Ripples”
Reimagining teacher education for immigrant students in the context of global migration
A place for Miguel
In this phenomenological case study, we explore how a toddler with autism (Miguel) becomes a member of an early childhood learning community. Drawing on the right to belong and a social-relational model of disability framework, we asked research questions that are fundamental to the rights and agency of the child and how children experience inclusion and belonging in their learning community. By following Miguel during his first year in early car…
To Be the Best Teacher Possible”
The purpose of this study is to describe the lived experiences of teachers of color with disabilities. We anchored our study in the construct of funds of identity and the theory of intersectionality to explore how their lived experiences and multilayered identities transformed into resources and strengths for teaching children of color with disabilities. We collected our data using the model of phenomenological interviewing. Our findings demonstr…

Coupled with my researcher journal, the interview conversations in which I inserted myself, the researcher, in dialogue with my participants, are analyzed through a reflexive lens…

Educating immigrant children requires teachers who are responsive to their complex and unique needs and who advocate for their education and well-being. Yet, few studies have examined teachers who teach immigrant children and their teaching practices, particularly in the field of early childhood education. Framed by the construct of funds of identity, this study focuses on a Latino Jewish immigrant teacher and how his identities, accumulated thro…
Inclusion in practice
Contemporary early childhood classrooms in the United States are becoming even more diverse with increasing cultural, linguistic, and developmental complexity. Given the movement toward implementing universal early education and care and the changes in educational policy toward inclusive education, early childhood classrooms have become important sites for inclusion of diverse young children with and without disabilities. However, it is not uncom…
