“…Constraints are a reality in schools. Especially when involving technologies, teachers have limited choice, and their optionsaccess to technology, kinds of technology, internet reliability, collaborators and relationship to disciplinary content and practicesare mediated by perpetuated inequities of practice and significant resource disparities (Walkins, 2018). In these tinker sessions, teachers were not just learning to use new digital tools but engaging in playful dress rehearsals of the very real constraints they would experience in their classrooms.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to re-center playfulness as a humanizing approach in teacher education. As teachers navigate the current moment of heightened control, surveillance, and systemic inequity, these proposed moves in teacher education can be transgressive. Rather than play as relegated to childhood or infancy, what does it look like to continue to be “playful” in teaching and teacher education? Design/methodology/approach To examine how teacher educators may design for teachers’ critical playful literacies, the authors offer three “worked examples” (Gee, 2009) of preservice teachers’ playful practices in an English literacies teacher education course. Findings The authors highlight instructional design elements pertinent to co-designing for teachers’ play and playful literacies in teacher education: generative constraints to practice everyday ingenuity, figuring it out to foster teacher agency and debriefs to interrupt the teaching’s perpetual performance. Originality/value The term “playful,” as a descriptor of practice and qualifier of activity appears frequently in educational literature across domains. The relationship of play to critical literacies – and, more specifically, educators’ literacies and learning – is less frequently explored.
