Klappentext

At a time when diversity, equity, and inclusion in education face unprecedented challenges, this groundbreaking volume brings together the collective journeys of over 20 faculty members from across Pennsylvania. Through vivid storytelling and practical strategies, Transformative Teacher Education explores how educators are embedding Culturally Relevant and Sustaining Education (CRSE) into teacher preparation, challenging traditional approaches and affirming that justice must remain central to the mission of teaching. With chapters grounded in Culturally Responsive Pedagogy, Targeted Universalism, and CRSE frameworks, Transformative Teacher Education offers both reflection and actionable guidance for educators, policymakers, and anyone who believes that teaching is political, transformative, and rooted in love and liberation. Discover how policy, resistance, and solidarity shape the future of teacher education--and why culturally sustaining practice is essential for every classroom.
