Abstract

Four teacher educators describe their work to establish Afrocentric foundations through integrating literacy and linguistic pluralism courses. We build on realities that teachers and children “do not learn, systematically and deeply, about Black genius and worth” (Baines, Tisdale, & Long, 2018 Baines, J. , Tisdale, C. , & Long, S. (2018). “We’ve been doing it your way long enough”: Choosing the culturally relevant classroom . New York, NY: Teachers College Press. [Google Scholar], p. 20) in schools or universities nor do they learn a critical consciousness, impacting their abilities to dismantle Eurocratic systems. We share challenges and outcomes (including university and PreK-3 teaching examples) in building liberatory praxis focused on the African cradle of civilization, anti-colonialism, African/African American erasure in schooling today, African and Diaspora languages, and the multilingualism of AAL speakers.

摘要

四位教师教育者描述了他们通过整合扫盲和语言多元化课程来建立以非洲为中心的基金会的工作。我们建立在这样的现实之上：教师和孩子们``没有系统，深入地学习黑人天才和价值''（Baines，Tisdale和Long，2018年） Baines，J. ， Tisdale，C .和 Long，S. （2018年）。“我们已经按照您的方式做了足够长的时间了”：选择与文化相关的教室。纽约，纽约：师范学院出版社。 [Google Scholar]，第 20）在学校或大学里，他们也没有学习批判意识，从而影响了他们拆除欧共体体系的能力。我们在建立解放实践的过程中面临挑战和成果（包括大学和PreK-3教学实例），这些实践的重点是非洲文明的摇篮，反殖民主义，非洲/非裔美国人今天在学校中的消除，非洲和侨民的语言以及AAL的多语种扬声器。
