Schooling for Critical Consciousness: Engaging Black and Latinx Youth in Analyzing, Navigating, and Challenging Racial Injustice

by Scott Seider (Author), Daren Graves (Author)

Purchase options and add-ons

Schooling for Critical Consciousness addresses how schools can help Black and Latinx youth resist the negative effects of racial injustice and challenge its root causes. Scott Seider and Daren Graves draw on a four-year longitudinal study examining how five different mission-driven urban high schools foster critical consciousness among their students. The book presents vivid portraits of the schools as they implement various programs and practices, and traces the impact of these approaches on the students themselves.

The authors make a unique contribution to the existing scholarship on critical consciousness and culturally responsive teaching by comparing the roles of different schooling models in fostering various dimensions of critical consciousness and identifying specific programming and practices that contributed to this work. Through their research with more than 300 hundred students of color, Seider and Graves aim to help educators strengthen their capacity to support young people in learning to analyze, navigate, and challenge racial injustice.

Schooling for Critical Consciousness provides school leaders and educators with specific programming and practices they can incorporate into their own school contexts to support the critical consciousness development of the youth they serve.

Culturally Responsive School Leadership (Race and Education)
Culturally responsive and justice-oriented schooling Examines a variety of educational issues and questions for teachers to explore through a transformative justice lens. Examines the experiences of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous students and faculty members who have succeeded in STEM and advocates for structural and institutional changes to address discrimination. Makes the case for restorative justice as a crucial answer, at least in part, to the unequal practices and opportunities in American schools. Highlights approaches for reframing educational inquiry and arguing for the adoption of a culturally responsive stance that can correct inequities. A bestselling book from Harvard Education Press, this title focuses on how we can effectively serve minoritized students by honoring local cultural practices.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Schooling for Critical Consciousness serves as both a hard call to all education stakeholders who remain blind to these dangerous times and a useful guide to those policymakers, schools, and educators who are ready to transform educational spaces to include opportunities to purposefully cultivate and actively grow critical consciousness of racial injustice among our Black and Latinx students as a means of empowerment and agency, and to better equip them to face these dangerous times in which we all live." —Teachers College Record

"Schooling for Critical Consciousness is firmly based on educational theory and provides ample meaningful pedagogic examples for educators to consider for implementation." —Education Review

 

From the Back Cover

Schooling for Critical Consciousness addresses how schools can help Black and Latinx youth resist the negative effects of racial injustice and challenge its root causes. Scott Seider and Daren Graves draw on a four-year longitudinal study examining how five different mission-driven urban high schools foster critical consciousness among their students. The book presents vivid portraits of the schools as they implement various programs and practices, and traces the impact of these approaches on the students themselves.

Schooling for Critical Consciousness provides school leaders and educators with specific programming and practices they can incorporate into their own school contexts to support the critical consciousness development of the youth they serve.

“Seider and Graves provide a rich accounting of the powerful practices that are necessary for fostering youth critical consciousness by drawing upon the experiences of a culturally diverse group of students attending high schools in urban communities. This book is essential for educators in and beyond school walls who are concerned with the positive and healthy success of marginalized and minoritized young people preparing to be productive contributors to our democracy.”
—Dorinda Carter Andrews, chairperson, Department of Teacher Education, Michigan State University

“Schooling for Critical Consciousness offers a clarion call for educators and researchers as we respond to these ‘dangerous times’ in our work with youth. Starting with James Baldwin’s wisdom and then guiding us through engrossing case studies of five schools, the authors highlight key practices that support youth as conscious agents of social change and the varied strengths of different schoolwide approaches to students’ sociopolitical development. This is a must-read for educators looking to support the healthy development of all of our young people as they contend with a social world fractured by structural oppression and racism.”
—Ben Kirshner, professor, School of Education, University of Colorado Boulder
