2. 'A Brave Group of People': Teacher Candidates' Perceptions of Teaching in Middle School

Author

Perry, Bettie, Beck, Jori S., and Hinton, KaaVonia

Abstract

We set out to create a middle grades program and to inform the field about the perceptions of our teacher candidates on teaching middle school. To accomplish these twin goals, we sought to better understand our teacher candidates' perceptions of teaching middle school and how these perceptions might be changed if necessary. Our review of research included three themes to frame this work: (a) middle school philosophy, (b) motivations to teach, and (c) middle school teacher preparation. We chose an emergent, qualitative research design to cull rich data from diverse stakeholders including open-ended survey data. We found an overarching deficit narrative about middle school students even though teacher candidates expressed admiration for middle school teachers. Our teacher candidates professed a need for coursework on classroom management and adolescent psychology as well as more field experiences to better prepare them for careers in the middle grades. Implications for middle grades programs are discussed, including the structure of field experiences and teacher preparation curriculum. We explain specific revisions to our own program in the attempt to generate analytic generalizability.

3. Mirroring Ourselves: Teacher Educators of Color Reading Multicultural Texts

Author

Suh, Yonghee and Hinton, KaaVonia

Abstract

During the last few decades, U.S. classrooms have experienced dramatic demographic changes. This article is based on the results of a larger self-study in which four teacher educators of color participated in a book club designed to discuss the pedagogical possibilities of Yoko Kawashima Watkins' "So Far from the Bamboo Grove" (1986) and its sequel, "My Brother, My Sister, and I" (1994), in their teacher education courses. Filling the gap in research, the authors focused on responding to the following questions: (1) What happens when teacher educators of color talk about a multicultural text? How do they read the multicultural text? How do they want to teach the text?; and (2) How does their membership in the culture depicted in the book impact the ways they read and teach the multicultural text? In doing so, the authors add additional voices from teacher educators of color to the growing body of literature on the professional development of teacher educators in multicultural teacher education. For the purpose of this study, the authors also define multicultural literature as "literature by and about people who are members of groups considered to be outside the socio-political mainstream of the United States," more specifically books by and about people of color.

4. Are We Comfortable Teaching This? Using Banned Books as a Vehicle for Teaching about World War II-Era Japan & Korea

Author

Suh, Yonghee, Hinton, KaaVonia, Marken, James, and Lee, Guang-Lea

Abstract

Teacher educators are pivotal in the effort to prepare teachers to teach in culturally responsive ways (Vescio, et al., 2006). In subject areas such as social studies and English, multicultural literature is viewed as a prime resource for creating a culturally inclusive curriculum. Yet, effective inclusion of these texts--many of which are filled with complex themes and issues and are often labeled controversial--involves knowledge of methods and cultural understanding that are not traditionally taught in education programs (Dong, 2005). This study explores what teacher educators of color learned from each other about the possibility of teaching a controversial Asian-American children's book such as Yoko Kawashima Watkin's "So Far from the Bamboo Grove" (1986) and its sequel, "My Brother, My Sister, and I" (1996). The sequel, however, did not spark controversy. Specifically, this study discusses how the teacher educators' cultural identities influence how they might help pre-service teachers make sense of and use texts like "So Far from the Bamboo Grove" to teach about Japanese and Korean experiences during World War II.

5. 'Sturdy Black Bridges': Discussing Race, Class, and Gender

Author

Hinton, KaaVonia

Abstract

Black feminist literary theory offers tools that teachers can use to initiate discussions on the issues of race, gender and class to analyze the works of adolescent literature. This feminist theory helps in reading and teaching literature about parallel cultures, like African-Americans and their love for self and community and their recognition of multiple oppressions in a way that differs from feminism.
