Unraveling the Threads of White Teachers' Conceptions of Caring: Repositioning White Privilege
Pennington, Julie L.; Brock, Cynthia H.; Ndura, Elavie
Urban Education, v47 n4 p743-775 Jul 2012
This study explored two White inservice teachers' understandings of Whiteness in relation to privilege and caring. A yearlong professional development set of courses used a multimodal construction of three significant course experiences designed to reposition Whiteness and illuminate White teachers' predisposition to care for their students in ways aligned with their own conceptions of caring.
