The Pandemic as a Portal : On Transformative Ruptures and Possible Futures for Education
Get PDFIn 2020, as COVID-19 made us pause, it also gave us pause, shedding light on inequities in schooling and society. As Roy (2020) notes, it “brought the world to a halt like nothing else could.” However, the tragicpatterns of inequity unfolding before our eyes were not new; we were witnessing “the wreckage of a train that has been careening down the track for years” (para. 8). Inequities that have long existed in Black, Indigenous, and other communities of Color were accentuated by the pandemic, and the exacerbation of these inequities remains devastating in and beyond the United States
“Nadie nos han preguntado…” (Nobody has asked us...)
Get PDFThis is the latest in a series of reports from the Listening to Teachers Study, which seeks understanding of how New York City\u27s early childhood educators are faring during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to use data gathered through surveys (May 2020, n=3355; June 2021, n=663) and in-depth interviews (spring 2022) to prompt reflection and discussion about what a more equitable post-pandemic ECE system could look like.
This report focuses on describing the June 2021 sample and preliminary findings: As in 2020, emotional/mental health support was the most frequently requested need, but professional mental health services were the least identified approach to coping; Social support from colleagues was high, with 69% feeling supported by co-workers and 59% by their supervisors; Increasing social support from ECE systems is an area of opportunity (38% felt supported by the system ); and While 61% reported not feeling burned out in June, this still left 244 directors, teachers, assistants, and family childcare professionals at potential risk of burning out.
These preliminary findings raise questions about what early childhood educators are experiencing now; how experiences differed by subgroups; what factors are associated with well-being; and what is in place - or could be - to reach those who are struggling and to support those who reported that they were thriving, to keep them thriving. These and other questions will be addressed in subsequent reports.https://educate.bankstreet.edu/sc/1007/thumbnail.jp

Black Feminist Love: An Open Letter to My Children
Get PDFIn an open letter to my young twins, I reflect on an open letter from the past and consider the context of this one: the historic moment of living through a pandemic anticipating a presidential election in 2020. In this reflection, I document the circumstances of our family’s life and turn toward what we are learning. My children have taught me to recognize my need for and commitment to Black feminist conceptions of love. I share a story and imagine letting go of conditional, enwhitened love that fears discomfort. Black feminist conceptions of love cannot coexist with fear and must promote freedom instead. I end with a manifesto and commitment to this way of loving
Remote Portals: Enacting Black Feminisms and Humanization to Disrupt Isolation in Teacher Education
Get PDFAs two Black women teacher educators who contend with the neoliberal expectations of the westernized academy and the material realities of preparing teachers for P-12 contexts, we face the pressures of performing productivity while attempting to ameliorate injustices for multiply-marginalized students (e.g., Black students with disabilities facing economic hardships). Working within predominantly white spaces, we were already socially and intellectually isolated prior to the 2020 pandemic. In this collaborative essay, we articulate how COVID-19 exasperated existing educational and social inequities, yet served as a portal to collective sense-making of our heightened intersectional consciousness, sense of duty to community, and enactments of humanizing pedagogy
