Nepantleras Building Bridges toward College Readiness: Latina/o/x Educators Fostering Equity in an Urban High School
Acevedo, Nancy
Education Sciences, v10 Article 88 2020
This article builds on previous studies that establish urban high school contexts that Latina/o/x students likely navigate as under-resourced and deficit. Guided by the frameworks of community-oriented teachers of Color and "nepantleras," this study takes an asset-based approach to examine how Latina/o/x educators fostered college aspirations and how they developed college-going structures to support college aspirations of Latina/o/x students. Findings clarify that through self-reflection and collaboration, teachers engaged in college information workshops, college exploration assignments, and supported students with applying to extracurricular internships. The study proposes the concept of community-oriented "nepantlera" educators who aim to develop a bridge between high school and college for Latina/o/x first-generation college students.
