Righting the Literacy Teacher Education Debt: A Matter of Justice

Abstract: The literacies of Black and other communities of Color have long been narrated pathologically in literacy teacher education. Literacy teacher educators have been complicit in upholding linguistic injustice and enacting linguistic violence in and through their practices, devaluing the practices, marginalizing the experiences, and interrogating the humanity of Black and other teachers of Color. In this article, extending Ladson-Billings's concept of the education debt, I assess the literacy teacher education deb… Show more

“…Equity and social justice challenges, inscribed within the founding and fabric of our teacher education programs, are laid bare during these unprecedented times. For example, Souto-Manning (2021) issued a clarion call for literacy teacher preparation programs to rectify their previous collusion in the accrual of educational debt owed to marginalized learners and their families by taking up an abolitionist stance in literacy teacher education. In her work, Souto-Manning questions why, in teacher education programs, we remain complicit in the continuation of racism and asks how we can interrupt the trauma circle inflicted by the field (Kwok et al, 2021; Rios, 2020).…”
