WATCH: Preparing asset-based equity oriented teachers
Teacher educators from the 爆走黑料 爆走黑料 and Antioch University Seattle discussed their work to transform teacher preparation during a .
Manka Varghese, associate professor of education at the UW, and UW 爆走黑料 alumni and Antioch faculty members Caryn Park (PhD '10) and Julia Daniels (PhD 鈥18) are co-authors of a new article on preparing asset-based, equity oriented teachers in a special issue of Teachers College Record.
During the chat, Varghese, Park and Daniels discussed which draws from their work over the last several years in the UW鈥檚 elementary teacher education program. The three also commented on their vision of identity-based and place-based teacher education as well as opportunities for preparing justice-oriented teachers.
Varghese is principal investigator for UW鈥檚 Project Bilingual Educator CApacity (BECA), a U.S. Department of Education-funded effort to address the shortage of dual language certified teachers. Her teaching and research focuses on improving the schooling experiences and, ultimately, the lives of linguistic minority youth.
Park has taught in early childhood classrooms in Illinois, Massachusetts and Washington state and her research centers on children鈥檚 understandings about race and ethnicity, and extends into multicultural curriculum and instruction, English language learning and teacher professional development for equity.
Daniels is program coordinator for Antioch鈥檚 Alternative Route to Teacher Certification and recently received the Outstanding Dissertation Award from the American Educational Research Association Division K (Teaching and Teacher Education) for 鈥淲hite Women Teachers and the Possibilities of Harm Reduction.鈥
