Community Connections: Integrating Community-Based Field Experiences To Support Teacher Education For Diversity, Christine Beaudry
Educational Considerations
In the United States, preservice teachers often graduate and go on to work with students whose backgrounds are different from their own and in communities in which they have limited lived experience. This holds significant implications for teacher education programs given the importance of life and educational experiences in informing teaching and learning knowledge and practices and the subsequent impact of these practices in shaping the experiences and trajectories of students’ lives.

Exploring The Social Relations Of Education And Organizing In The Ontario Minimum Wage Campaign1, Sheila Wilmot
Exploring The Social Relations Of Education And Organizing In The Ontario Minimum Wage Campaign1, Sheila Wilmot
Adult Education Research Conference
Many of the workers’ rights activities going on in Canada today form a nexus of education, union-renewal-oriented organizing, and anti-racist social- change initiatives. My dissertation on The Social Organization of the Ontario Minimum Wage Campaign (OMWC) is a case-study exploration of community and union workers’ rights organizing throughout the 2001 to 2007 period of the campaign. For my research I employed Institutional Ethnography (IE) to explicate the social relations of class, race, gender and bureaucracy. In this paper I look primarily at the relationship between labour education and workers-rights organizing goals and activities in the last phase of the campaign.
