Critical Hope As Vehicle For Equity: Examining Teachers’ Paradigm And Pedagogy, Heidi Strikwerda, Jose Lalas
Critical Hope As Vehicle For Equity: Examining Teachers’ Paradigm And Pedagogy, Heidi Strikwerda, Jose Lalas
Journal of Critical Issues in Educational Practice
This current study framed the concept of “critical hope” and examined how systemic oppression in society continuously perpetrates the “hope gap” in low-income students. We defined critical hope, in this study, as the optimistic way of viewing and acting on the world from a critically historically conscious, socially and culturally situated perspective with a personal belief that inevitable change will inspire a sense of community, advocacy, liberation, and justice (Strikwerda, 2019). This rich definition incorporates the elements of hope deduced from existing related foundational and empirical research literature (Freire, 1970; Freire, 1994; Freire, 1997, bell hooks, 2004; Edwards et al., …
Neoliberal Reading Interventions And Student Needs, Mahbuba Hammad
Neoliberal Reading Interventions And Student Needs, Mahbuba Hammad
Journal of Critical Issues in Educational Practice
This article discusses reading programs within the context of Neoliberalism and the extent to which they address student needs.

Without a doubt, this has affected the ability of students to think critically about …

Emotional Labor: Re/Membering Juan, Randall Wright, Kathryn Schofield
Emotional Labor: Re/Membering Juan, Randall Wright, Kathryn Schofield
Journal of Critical Issues in Educational Practice
This paper finds its home in a graduate student’s essay which led to the realization that teaching for social justice in a foundations course cannot ignore the emotional labor of teachers. Critical concepts such as ideology, hegemony and domination must be considered as cognitive frameworks and emotional management systems that delimit and prescribe proper “feelings” for teachers as well. Current educational discourses serve a similar emotional management function. Schools are thus considered battlegrounds for dominance and control of teachers’ emotional lives. Recovering the emotional world of teachers thus serves as a counter-discourse to the current technical-rationalist educational discourse. We conclude …
