Title: A way of being: Women of color educators and their ongoing commitments to critical consciousness
Abstract: Interviews with U.S.-based, justice-oriented, women of Color educators reveal critical consciousness embedded in their positionality, across all domains of their life, not something cultivated just in their teacher development. Through their families and communities, critical educational experiences from K-16+, and continued access to critical discourse, critical consciousness was a way of both understanding and being in the world. Recognizing the complex and continuous labor that goes into developing as a justice-oriented teacher, we argue that teacher education programs and schools must recruit and support those already engaged in developing their critical consciousness.
