Instructionally, our aim is to produce critical thinkers, citizens of the world— in both career and daily living. But in addition to this instructional aim also exists how we as teachers impart and model our society’s values of equity and justice, not only through the literature we teach and writing we assign, but also through our methods of inquiry, dialectics, and, yes, even our own classroom comportment. Our students learn from us inside and outside the literature and writing. We both affect and effect them in so many ways. Chair and Speaker: Jocelyn A.

    Navigating Black Identity Development: the Power of Interactive Multicultural Read Alouds with Elementary-Aged Children

    education sciences Article Navigating Black Identity Development: The Power of Interactive Multicultural Read Alouds with Elementary-Aged Children Rebekah E. Piper College of Education and Human Development, Texas A&M University-San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78224, USA; [email protected] Received: 9 April 2019; Accepted: 23 April 2019; Published: 18 June 2019 Abstract: Racial identity development in young children is influenced by interactions with teachers and curriculum in schools. This article, using the framework of critical race theory, critical literacy, and critical pedagogy, explores how three elementary-aged Black children view their own identity development. Specifically, observing how children interact with Movement-Oriented Civil Rights-Themed Children’s Literature (MO-CRiTLit) in the context of a non-traditional summer literacy program, Freedom Schools, to influence their Black identity. Professional development and preservice teacher preparation are needed to support teachers as they navigate through learning about pedagogical practices that increase student engagement. Keywords: critical literacy; Civil Rights; Black identity; children 1. Introduction The central question addressed by the Supreme Court during the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas (1954) [1] was whether the segregation of children in public schools based on their race, deprived minoritized children of equal educational opportunities when everything else was equal [2–4]. This question has been, and continues to be, answered in the negative, as evidenced in an educational system in which Children of Color are repeatedly reported to have lower reading and numeracy scores in comparison to their white peers. In 2003, Education Trust, Inc. reported that, nationally, fourth-grade African-Americans fell behind their white peers in reading.

    THE ROLE OF CHILDREN’S RACIAL IDENTITY AND ITS IMPACT ON THEIR SCIENCE EDUCATION by Lisa Mekia McDonald Dissertation Committee: Professor Felicia Moore Mensah, Sponsor Professor Denise Mahfood Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date: ___________________________________February 12, 2020 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2020 ABSTRACT THE ROLE OF CHILDREN’S RACIAL IDENTITY AND ITS IMPACT ON THEIR SCIENCE EDUCATION Lisa Mekia McDonald Racial identity plays an important role in the development of children’s narratives. In the structure of the classroom there is a disconnect for students between home and school. The structure of the classroom consists of the social relationships that children have with their peers and teachers. The structure of the classroom also includes how the classroom is set up for learning, such as the curriculum. Racial identity is also a valuable aspect in the construction of knowledge as children learn science. Racial identity is not often addressed with young children and science. Young children need to be able to see themselves in science regardless of their own race or ethnicity. Critical race theory (CRT) was used to examine and situate the context of race with children’s identity. Sociocultural theory was used to describe their process of learning. The participants of this study included 10 children in grades 3 through 5 who attended a diverse urban school located in New York City and their parents (10 parents). A qualitative approach was used to allow both children and parents to share their perspectives on their experience with science and difficult topics that pertain to race and/or skin color.

Lac University of Texas-San Antonio, San Antonio, USA Introduction I enter this teacher action research project with an interest in studying how I, as a high school teacher, developed a critical race pedagogy (CRP) curriculum for students in an out-of-school context. My intrigue with race started at an early age growing up in Oakland, California, where my classmates were primarily of African American, Central American, and Southeast Asian descent. As a Southeast Asian student in Oakland schools, even with 100% students of color in my classes, my teachers in school rarely talked about race or racism.

    GUIDE Deliciously fun week-long camps for kids at Patricia’s Table At Patricia’s Table, we empower kids to expand their minds and taste buds while whipping up batches of fun in the kitchen. Our hands-on cooking classes combine culinary tech- niques, locally-grown foods, and fresh flavors as we create sweet and savory treats from scratch. We cook with children for a number of reasons. Cook- ing with your child creates the opportunity to teach kids where food comes from and to make a healthy connection with food. We have seen that kids are more likely to be adventurous eaters when they are involved in the process. Additionally, cooking is a life skill that provides opportunities to explore other cultures. Our hope is to honor kids’ intelligence during our classes and camps, and encourage them in becoming confident, creative chefs. Patricia’s Table offers summer camps, classes and work- shops and birthday parties for kids, as well as classes and pri- vate events for adults. 1510 W. 35th Street • Austin, Texas 78731 Fun Camp Themes For Younger Chefs Summer Camps for Farm to Table, Cooks & Books, Artistic Foodie, Kitchen Celebration, Baking Basics, Ages 3-10 America the Bountiful, and Superfood Superpowers Expand your child’s mind and For Older Chefs taste buds this summer with our Master Chef Jr., Baking Basics, Culinary deliciously fun week-long cooking Passport, America the Bountiful, and camps.
