Name-and-discuss bias routines reduce co-option of community voices in community-based teacher education.

Evidence

The structure of course assignments and collaborative inquiry within weekly seminar challenges TCs to grow in critical consciousness as they engage in learning through a critical pedagogical framework (Lee, 2018). Consistent steps are taken to name and discuss implicit/explicit bias and deficit mindsets in order to minimize the co-opting of community voices and experiences. TCs are encouraged to understand the importance of reciprocal partnerships between the classroom and local community. — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 342
