Purpose

While Black teachers have engaged in racial justice-oriented teaching for centuries and the body of research on racial justice-oriented teachers is growing, very little is known about how teachers come to this work. The purpose of this paper is to focus on where and how Black teachers who teach with racial justice aims learned to engage in this work.

Design/methodology/approach

This is a narrative inquiry (Clandinin and Connelly, 2000) study that was designed and analyzed using a critical race theory lens.

Findings

Participants learned to engage in racial justice-oriented teaching from their lived experience, particularly from their K-12 teachers who showed why this kind of teaching was necessary. Additionally, participants were highly skeptical of whether or not teacher education programs could prepare White preservice teachers to engage in this kind of teaching.

Originality/value

There is very little research focusing on how Black teachers come to engage in racial justice-oriented teaching, and even less that provides insight into how Black teachers perceive teacher education programs at predominantly White institutions (PWIs). This study sheds light on when, where and how Black teachers learn to teach with racial justice aims, and it also illuminates the experiences of Black teachers in PWI teacher education programs.

“他们表现得像下地狱一样！”：黑人教师、种族正义和教师教育

目的

虽然几个世纪以来黑人教师一直从事以种族正义为导向的教学，而且对种族正义导向的教师的研究越来越多，但人们对教师如何从事这项工作知之甚少。本文的目的是关注以种族正义为目标的黑人教师在哪里以及如何学会参与这项工作。

设计/方法/方法

这是一项叙事调查（Clandinin 和 Connelly，2000 年）研究，使用批判性种族理论镜头进行设计和分析。

发现

参与者从他们的生活经验中学会了以种族正义为导向的教学，特别是从他们的 K-12 老师那里学习，他们展示了为什么这种教学是必要的。此外，参与者高度怀疑教师教育计划是否可以让白人职前教师为从事这种教学做好准备。

原创性/价值

很少有研究关注黑人教师如何参与以种族正义为导向的教学，更不用说深入了解黑人教师如何看待以白人为主的机构 (PWI) 的教师教育计划。这项研究阐明了黑人教师何时、何地以及如何学习以种族正义为目标的教学，它还阐明了黑人教师在 PWI 教师教育计划中的经验。
