Nuraan, Davids – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2019
Debates on educational exclusion are almost exclusively focused on the experiences of learners as they navigate their way through barriers of race, culture, gender, sexuality, class, disability and language. Similar attention has not been afforded to the experiences of teachers, creating the impression that, unlike learners, teachers do not…

Frausel, Rebecca R.; Richland, Lindsey E.; Levine, Susan C.; Goldin-Meadow, Susan – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Personal narrative is decontextualized talk where individuals recount stories of personal experience about past or future events. As an everyday discursive speech type, narrative potentially invites parents and children to explicitly link together, generalize from, and make inferences about representations--that is, to engage in higher-order…

Saracho, Olivia N.; Evans, Roy – Early Child Development and Care, 2021

Melly Wilson; Adhann Iwashita; Kathlina S. Martin – Region 19 Comprehensive Center, 2024
The concept of Funds of Identity (FOI) comes from a theory of learning that emphasizes the importance of recognizing and using students' cultural, linguistic, and personal backgrounds to enhance their educational experiences.

Green, Carie J. – Journal of Pedagogy, 2018
Places assigned and places chosen have major implications for the lives of children. While the former are a result of children's subordinate position in an adult world, the latter are the essence of their agency. Beginning at a young age children seek out places to claim as their own. Places, real and imaginary, shape children and children shape…

This article constructs a collective biography as a heterotopology of the…
