One Class Is Not Enough: Learnings From a Critical Race Media Literacy Course for Elementary Teacher Education

Abstract

The authors explore their use of critical race media literacy in an elective elementary teacher education course. Analysis of course work and reflexive conversations (between the authors) indicate the necessity to support preservice teachers’ embodiments of critical race media literacy, racial pedagogical content knowledge, and racial pedagogical decision making to enact critical pedagogies in their future elementary classrooms.
