Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of Latinx preservice teachers (PSTs) while enrolled in a teacher preparation program in the New Latinx South, a cluster of states that have seen a precipitous growth in the Latinx population over the last decades. Design/methodology/approach The authors used pláticas, or informal conversations with a group of six female Latinx PSTs. Findings Two main themes were identified: experiences with racism and discrimination and feelings of isolation. These themes, along with the narratives of the participants, reflect the barriers this population experiences in the education field and how professionals in this field can improve to best assist Latinx PSTs. Originality/value Latinx PSTs’ experiences are yet to be fully investigated to improve not only their schooling but also the number of Latinx teachers serving a growing number of Latinx children in US schools. Additionally, the use of pláticas elevates this paper as this is a method valued by the participants and used in their communities.

Pláticas与拉丁裔职前教师:关于在新拉丁裔南方引导教师教育的见解

本研究的目的是研究拉丁裔职前教师(pst)在新拉丁南部参加教师培训计划时的经历，新拉丁南部是一个拉丁裔人口在过去几十年急剧增长的州群。设计/方法/方法作者使用pláticas，或与六名女性拉丁pst进行非正式对话。调查结果确定了两个主题:种族主义和歧视的经历以及孤立感。这些主题，以及参与者的叙述，反映了这一群体在教育领域遇到的障碍，以及这一领域的专业人员如何改进，以最好地帮助拉丁裔pst。原创性/价值拉丁裔教师的经验还有待充分调查，不仅要改善他们的教育，还要改善为美国学校中越来越多的拉丁裔儿童服务的拉丁裔教师的数量。此外，pláticas的使用提升了这篇论文，因为这是参与者所重视的方法，并在他们的社区中使用。
