Reflections On My White Privilege And Understanding It: Thoughts From A Teacher Educator, Todd Sloan Cherner
Reflections On My White Privilege And Understanding It: Thoughts From A Teacher Educator, Todd Sloan Cherner
Catalyst: A Social Justice Forum
The topic of White Privilege continually appears in a variety of contexts. As one of those contexts is teacher education, the author reflects on how he came to understand his White Privilege in this article.

A case-study analysis is used to examine the relationship between community partners and in-service public high school teachers who co-constructed a culturally responsive informal learning experience. An analysis of a summer literacy and character development camp for adolescent males of color provides a supportive argument for developing the Community-Based Teacher (Murrell, 2001). Culturally responsive informal learning experiences of public school students are the centerpiece of this case study as well as the shared experiential education instruction provided by community partners. Implications for teacher education programs, both traditional and Alternative Routes to Certification (ARCs) that purport mission statements integrating social justice …
