"It's David versus Goliath": Anti-Oppressive Practice in K-12 Education
Daftary, Ashley; Sugrue, Erin
Equity & Excellence in Education, v55 n1-2 p148-163 2022
In this study, we examined how educators engage in anti-oppressive practices in K-12 schools. Twenty-five educators who self-identify as engaging in anti-oppressive practice participated in semi-structured key informant interviews. We used a flexible coding approach to analyze the data. Findings identify five anti-oppressive practices: (1) cultural humility, (2) challenging oppression and injustice, (3) building relationships with students and families, (4) support and accountability within the school community, and (5) modifying the curriculum. Recommendations and examples of anti-oppressive practice relevant to administrators, teachers, and support staff are discussed.
