Listening To The Silences: An Ethnodrama About A Teacher’S First Year In The Chicago Public Schools, Charles Vanover

USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications

Listening to the Silences" is an ethnodrama (Saldaña, 2011) that evokes the experience of a teacher in the Chicago Public Schools as she attempts to make sense of her first year in one of the city’s large, high poverty, African American elementary schools. Every word in the script was voiced during a single narrative interview. Words and music from Arvo Part's "Fratres" combine to evoke the struggle to learn to teach by teaching. Opportunities for audience dialogue are structured throughout the session.

This symposium inquires into a critical question in leadership preparation: "How do we prepare educational leadership candidates to work as change agents in institutions guided by socially unjust policies where professionals act with limited discretion?" The symposium uses an ethnodramatic case, adult learning techniques, and an expert panel to ignite dialogue and explore the gap between our field's vision for socially just schools and the demoralizing conditions where too many students learn and teachers teach.
