Description+

This important volume promotes the widespread application of Critical Race Theory (CRT) to better prepare K–12 teachers to bring an informed asset-based approach to teaching today’s highly diverse populations. Part I explores the tradition and longevity of CRT in teacher education. Part II, “Beyond Black and White,” expands CRT into new contexts, including LatCrit, AsianCrit, TribalCrit, QueerCrit, and BlackCrit. Part III looks beyond CRT to other epistemologies often dismissed in White conceptions of teacher preparation. Throughout the text, the authors collaborate across demographic lines to work together toward social justice and compassion. A closing chapter presents and synthesizes the lessons to be learned for teacher educators who want to prepare teachers to be agents of social change.

Book Features:

  • Presents the history and theory of CRT and its applications to education and teacher preparation.
  • Moves beyond a Black/White binary to consider applications of CRT across various groups, contexts, and identities in the U.S.
  • Expands CRT to include Indigenous epistemologies from a global context.

“The authors present foundational knowledge that teachers must have before they are able to incorporate transformative social justice concepts in their curricula.“

—Teachers College Record

“Critical Race Theory in Teacher Education has put forth a challenge that requires all of our attentions. Not only does this work have important implications for teaching and learning in schools, it provides an epistemological and moral call for us to do justice work with a global framework that captures, reclaims, and restores our humanity.”
—From the Foreword by Tyrone C. Howard, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, The University of California, Los Angeles

“Han and Laughter have assembled an amazing group of scholars and practitioners merging the fields of Critical Race Theory and teacher education. This original work has taken us down some important pathways as we train educators to serve all communities and communities of color in particular. This is a remarkable, compelling, and insightful book.”
—Daniel Solorzano, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, The University of California, Los Angeles
