I am a co-author on a recently published article in Teaching and Teacher Education called “When educators attempt to make ‘community’ a part of classroom learning: The dangers of (mis)appropriating students’ communities into schools.” You can find it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The abstract for the article follows:<\/p>\n

In this article, we explore the ambiguous associations of the term \u201ccommunity\u201d within one professional development (PD) program that engaged teachers in using mobile technologies to learn about data. We argue that multiple meanings of \u201ccommunity\u201d are embedded in competing ideological discourses that reproduce and\/or contest relationships of power that shape the educational experiences of students of\u00a0color. We examine how the norms, representational artifacts, and tools in the PD we studied co-constructed various meanings of \u201ccommunity.\u201d Lastly, we explore the implications of our findings for PD facilitators by disambiguating other analyses that are often conflated with \u201ccommunity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
