Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article, I highlight resistance methods that teachers who identified as having disability studies in education and social justice identities used to uphold ideological commitments to these identities. I specifically focus on the teachers’ leverage of the tactic of “working the cracks” to actively reframe disability outside of deficit-based frameworks with colleagues and in support of families. As Collins described, individuals working in bureaucratic systems (e.g., public schools) must use the cracks of the system, or insider knowledge, to find the spaces and fissures that they can work through and expand on. Educators used the cracks of the systems of special education to advocate alongside and for the inclusion of students with disabilities.

“修补漏洞”:利用教育工作者的内部知识倡导包容性实践

摘要在这篇文章中，我强调了在教育和社会正义身份中被认定为有残疾研究的教师用来维护对这些身份的意识形态承诺的抵制方法。我特别关注的是教师们利用“破解裂缝”的策略，在与同事的基于赤字的框架之外，积极重塑残疾问题，并支持家庭。正如柯林斯所描述的，在官僚系统（如公立学校）工作的个人必须利用系统的裂缝或内部知识，找到他们可以克服和扩展的空间和裂缝。教育工作者利用特殊教育系统的裂缝，与残疾学生一起倡导并支持他们的融入。

期刊介绍： Equity & Excellence in Education publishes articles based on scholarly research utilizing qualitative or quantitative methods, as well as essays that describe and assess practical efforts to achieve educational equity and are contextualized within an appropriate literature review. We consider manuscripts on a range of topics related to equity, equality and social justice in K-12 or postsecondary schooling, and that focus upon social justice issues in school systems, individual schools, classrooms, and/or the social justice factors that contribute to inequality in learning for students from diverse social group backgrounds. There have been and will continue to be many social justice efforts to transform educational systems as well as interpersonal interactions at all levels of schooling.
