Who are Latino prospective teachers and what do they bring to US schools?

Abstract: In this article, the authors draw on life-history methods to investigate the family, school, university, and teacher education experiences of three Latino teacher candidates in a large, midwestern, research-oriented university in the United States. They show how in university social experiences and in teacher education classes and field experiences, these young men often felt misinterpreted in interactions with white females in particular. Also evident is their strong desire to make personal connections with y… Show more

“…Men as remedy to the female teacher workforce. Many articles feature analyses of men in elementary teaching contesting hegemonic masculinity and the sexism, racism, and classism implicit in that model, as seen in Gomez, Rodriguez, and Agosto (2008). In this study, three Latino male preservice elementary teachers' experiences reveal their struggles with racism, popular cultural constructions of Latino men, masculinity, and a vocation in teacher education.…”

“…The complementary research on the women who lurk in the backgrounds of these articles about men is missing. This is not to suggest that Gomez et al (2008) or others should have reported findings on the women in these particular articles, as that was not the purpose of their work.

“…Gómez, Rodríguez, and colleagues (Gómez & Rodríguez, 2011;Gómez, Rodríguez, & Agosto, 2008a, 2008bRodríguez & Reis, 2012) found in life history narratives that Latina/o PSTs had commitments to forging family-school connections, a practical consciousness about the need for social justice, and strength in developing personal relationships. At times, White peers and teacher educators in this set of studies did not value such resources, and PSTs felt isolated, at times buying into deficit views of themselves as ELs, at other times countering discourses about their and their students' cultural and language backgrounds.…”

“…For example, teachers of color may use personal experience to connect to their students (Ladson-Billings, 1994;Mensah, 2009). Other teachers tailor their teaching to be relevant to students' prior experiences (Brown, 2009;Gomez, Rodriguez, & Agosto, 2008;Wong, 2008). Still other teachers engage in subversive education in order to challenge the notion that students of color are lacking in ability (Achinstein & Ogawa, 2011;Arce, 2004;Farrugio, 2009;Foster, 1997;Frederick & View, 2009).…”
