Normalizing Black Students/Youth and Their Families' Digital and STEAM Literacies
Lewis Ellison, Tisha
Reading Teacher, v76 n5 p594-600 Mar-Apr 2023
Due to the paucity of research that focuses on the digital and STEAM literacy practices of Black students and youth and their families in home and community spaces, this article acts as a call for awareness to understand the already-existing digital practices that acknowledges and honors their racial, cultural, and social lives. Lewis Ellison addresses four primary questions that K-12 teachers must be aware of concerning Black parents, students and youth in digital and STEM spaces: Why are Black Students'/Youth and Families' Digital Literacy Practices important? What can we learn from Black Parents' Narratives about their Children's Digital and STEAM Literacies? What do Black Students/Youth Wish their Teachers Knew about Them? What Should Digital and STEM Literacy Practices Look Like for Black Students/Youth? These questions are important when thinking about Black students' and youth's digital literacy learning and proficiencies because as the education and political world keeps changing, they need digital literacy skills for every area of their lives. Once we understand the roles we play in centering their lives and practices, then we can advance teacher education, and then we can begin a discussion to normalize Black students and their families' digital and STEAM literacies and practices.
