SUMMARY:Enhancing Capabilities Through Racially Literate Curriculum Making
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nThrough a Spencer-funded research project\, 14 social studies teachers from the Midwest and 3 teacher educators collaborated with the goal of enhancing teachers’ racially literate curriculum making in the social studies. The eighteen-month endeavor draws from the international GeoCapabilities project and the recent book “Race\, Racism and the Geography Curriculum” (Morgan & Lambert\, 2023). \nThis session will summarize what was learned about racial literacy in geography teaching and about expanding teacher and student capabilities in the current political climate. Session participants will explore conceptual and practical tools\, including sample curriculum artifacts and vignettes developed by geography teachers. By the end of the session\, it is hoped that participants have a vision for how they might adapt and adopt the presented tools for contexts ranging from secondary geography classrooms to initial teacher preparation. \nSession Focus\nAll Grade Levels | Curriculum and Instruction | Racial literacy\, Curriculum-making\, Teacher-agency \nConference Room\nLewis \nMeet the Presenters\nKelly León is an Assistant Professor of Social Studies Education at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay (UWGB).
