Description

In this edited book sponsored by the ATE Diversity Committee, we invited teacher educators to provide their stories from the field of education, related to antiracist instruction in teacher education. The stories took the form of narratives and counternarratives. The engaging ideas, activities, and suggestions throughout provide readers with much content to reflect on and apply in their teacher education classrooms and programs. Education advocates and policy makers would also be interested in hearing the perspectives of these educators, as they bring to light much information that is not clear through just the numbers or quantitative statistics. These in-depth rich descriptions provide high quality information that would be beneficial to educators in various settings and subject areas, as this is an antiracist teacher education is an issue that goes across all areas in education.
