Current Issues in Comparative Education
Culturally Relevant Pedagogy Post-COVID-19In this essay, through the lens of a novice Latino urban educator of Color, doctoral student, and emerging culturally relevant classroom teacher and teacher educator, I will revisit and critically analyze the three tenets of CRP by situating Ladson-Billings’ theory in the post-COVID 19 era. I examine the tenets of CRP with the following question in mind: What does CRP look like in a classroom post-COVID-19? While analyzing each tenet, I will provide educationalists with reflective questions that they can use to help them re-analyze the need for CRP in schools. I define educationalists as someone who knows various principles and pedagogical practices of teaching (e.g., classroom teachers, school leaders, district leaders, literacy coaches, curriculum writers, and teacher educators).

When School Wasn’t “School”: Developing Culturally Responsive Practice during the COVID-19 LockdownsThis article emerged from my study of three alternative-certification teachers, or teacher learners as they tried to enact culturally responsive practices while navigating their first year of teaching and taking graduate courses for initial certification. These teacher learners worked to develop their understanding and capacities to enact a culturally responsive pedagogy but found that standardization of content and conceptions of what constitutes “good students”, appropriate classroom conduct, and micro-managed professional learning communities all created environments hostile to their attempts to develop as equity-minded educators and culturally responsive practitioners. However, their experiences changed once the COVID-19 pandemic closed these teacher learners’ schools to in-person instruction and sent them home to instruct online for the remainder of the spring 2020 semester. Free from the constrictive macro-structures and socio-political contexts in their physical workplaces, t...

Pedagogies of Possibility: Exploring Culturally Responsive Education During COVID-192022 •
This groundbreaking study investigated how K-12 teachers adapted their culturally responsive instructional practices during the emergency shift to remote learning precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, this project lies at the confluence of online (Baran, Correia, & Thompson, 2011; Protopsaltis & Baum, 2019) and culturally responsive frameworks ( Gay, 1995; Ladson-Billings, 1995; Paris & Alim, 2014), with significance for the productive merging of the two as a way to inform curriculum development, instructional strategies, professional development opportunities, and policy changes necessary to support K-12 teachers’ digital pedagogy. Data from this study provides insight about multiple factors that interfered with classroom teachers’ approach to remote instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers were not prepared for online learning, received little to no guidance about metrics for success, digital pedagogy, or developmentally appropriate uses of technology for learning.

This first-person dissection of pandemic pedagogy, supported by surveillance theory, queer and feminist pedagogical theory, and radically empathetic and nonviolent teaching practices, suggests a better way forward in college and university teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Outlining anti-surveillance and anti-policing practices, as well as instructors’ roles as enforcers of the neoliberal university’s interests and instructors’ needs usurping best teaching and administrative practices, the article attempts to make sense of interconnected limitations and inequities in higher education which the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent distance and hybrid course delivery models have exposed. The article posits methods to reframe instructor/student interactions in virtual and socially distanced classrooms. In a radical departure from the violent surveillance university model, including an acknowledgement of processes instructors can realistically resist, the article suggests a ...

Reimagining EducationIn this paper, a Principal and two lead teachers describe the ways their school community has reimagined the learning environment at their NYC urban, public, K-5 elementary school throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020 they were forced to immediately switch to fully remote learning, a platform they had never previously experienced. Since then, they have engaged in hybrid and now fully in person learning through a worldwide pandemic. The school community, whose focus before the pandemic was on social emotional learning and culturally responsive pedagogy, utilized those practices and the strong relationships between staff, students and families in order to persevere. The pandemic disporportionately impacted communities of color, like the one this school community is located in. Other inequalities such as food insecurity, job loss, sickness, financial strain and death impacted the community. Racial trauma and political unrest that was exacerbated during the pandemic also ...

Pedagogical continuities in teaching and learning during COVID-19: Holding up the bridge2020 and 2021 in higher education were characterised by pandemic-related disruptions to conventional modes of teaching and learning. These prompted discussions about pedagogic shifts, academic continuity and the future of teaching and learning. Debates on the ‘future-focused’ university have raised questions about system-level and resourcing issues, teaching and learning practices and new ecologies of e-learning. This paper engages with these debates to better understand the continuities and discontinuities in the new pedagogies and how these affect what universities may do differently going forward. The pandemic prompted exploration of hybrid models of teaching and learning, with radical changes to traditional face-to-face teaching. The theoretical framework of the paper synthesises the concepts of pedagogical continuity and social justice to analyse the research findings. The research is based on data collected from interviews with 15 senior academic leaders at the University of J...

Pivot of Pedagogy: How Minority Serving Institutions Adapted to the COVID-19 PandemicDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, issues regarding social justice, diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect were at amplified levels. Pacific Oaks College (PO) endeavored to keep its promise and maintain its mission and core values by connecting Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy (Paris, 2012) with Engaged Pedagogy (Florence, 1998) to leverage critical actions as real practice during distance learning. To explore how this occurred, the authors engaged in self-reflection practices by employing autoethnographic accounts. The overall goal is to examine the significance of community partnerships, students’ online readiness, and instructional practices used to pivot practice during the pandemic. Preliminary findings indicate that PO’s critical action to build strong community partnerships was successful. The “COVID Slide” (Kuhfeld et al., 2020) indicates that students may experience learning loss and elevated levels of depression and anxiety. This institution, faculty, students, and other const...

Disruption, Transition, and Re-imagining: Teaching, Learning and Development in the Midst of the Two PandemicsIn “Will Schools Change Forever,” Waite and Arnett contend our educational system, and our society as a whole, have been confronted with two pandemics, COVID-19 and systemic racism (2020). Both of these pandemics have acerbated challenges schools must address and have exposed chronic inequities in educational systems. Our inquiry is case study of 23 novice teachers who graduated from our urban institution and their perception of how the pandemics impacted the development of their students, their own professional trajectory, and their future instruction. Semi-structured interviews focused on educators’ approaches to instruction across 12-18 months of the pandemic. Data were analyzed using NVivo through open coding. Results indicated novice teachers’ initial teaching experiences were disrupted by both Covid-19 and the social unrest during this time period. The challenges they faced reflected their focus as culturally responsive educators who were working to meet the needs of the learn...
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of face-to-face classes in a northern Canadian college in March 2020. Educators and staff went into rapid response mode to continue teaching and supporting students from a distance. Critical reflections were written by the authors to summarize their responses to teaching and learning during the early phases of the pandemic. These reflections were themed, considered individually and collectively, then analyzed and synthesized. In this paper, critical reflection is used as an educational process within the context of critical constructivism and transformative paradigms. We share how teaching during the pandemic solidified our commitment to students and cemented our critical pedagogy by thinking and acting critically to assist students with this disruption in their education. Equipped with these capabilities, educators are empowered to work with students to problem solve and transform our educative lives for a just society. An inter-professional...
This is a great effort to summarize bright ideas about educational theory and practice, especially English language education and teaching, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This anthology book will be very useful for teachers, lecturers, students, and education practitioners, especially language education, to gain experience that can be directly practiced in online, face-to-face classes, or a combination of online and faceto-face. Hopefully, this small effort that has great benefits can be continued by IELA (Indonesian English Lecturer Association) in particular and seminar organizers in general to produce important writings containing theoretical and practical ideas that are useful for the advancement of education, especially language education in Indonesia. By sharing this knowledge and experience, we can transfer these smart ideas to fellow teachers and lecturers, researchers, and practitioners to be able to solve some teaching problems with this solution.
