Community-engaged field experiences re-teach educators the assets of local neighborhoods

Evidence

Reflective dialogue with these two particular TCs indicated the impact of the community-engaged learning experiences to Black Bottom/Lafayette Park and the Brightmoor Makerspace. Both TCs conveyed they underwent a (re)learning of Detroit as the inherent assets of local neighborhoods were centered in the social studies methods course. By connecting the communityengaged learning experiences to their developing understandings of ­studentcentered and place-conscious pedagogy, both TCs model the awakening that is necessary for a socially aware and critically conscious teaching practice. — James D.
