Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this conceptual article is to illustrate how our awakening after Nipsey Hussle’s death, our visit to his memorial, his music and life, and our lived experiences influenced a redesign of our community-engaged courses. We realized we had bought into respectability politics and prioritized making our white colleagues and preservice teachers comfortable, leaving behind our hoods. Experiencing the outpouring of love for his work and life made us realize that we didn’t have to let go of our hoods to be a part of academia. Through a Self-Study in Teacher Education, a type of practitioner inquiry undertaken by teacher educators, we shared our stories growing up in our hoods, explored our Hip-Hop identities, and the awakening we experienced to redesign and inform our community-engaged curricular decisions. This article is a “Blackprint”. It’s an offering to teacher educators to explore and interrogate their identities and personal experiences as a springboard to centering Blackness in their courses. It stems from our childhoods in the hood, our careers as scholars, and the call to action inspired by Nipsey’s death. This is a call to elevate the hood in teacher education.

马拉松仍在继续：黑人教师觉醒&受社区Nip启发，重新设计社区参与的教师教育课程

摘要这篇概念性文章的目的是说明我们在尼普西·胡塞尔去世后的觉醒，我们对他的纪念馆的参观，他的音乐和生活，以及我们的生活经历如何影响我们社区参与课程的重新设计。我们意识到我们已经接受了受人尊敬的政治，并优先考虑让我们的白人同事和职前教师感到舒适，留下我们的兜帽。对他的工作和生活倾注的爱让我们意识到，我们不必为了成为学术界的一员而放弃自己的兜帽。通过教师教育中的自学，这是一种由教师教育工作者进行的从业者调查，我们分享了我们在童年成长的故事，探索了我们的嘻哈身份，以及我们在重新设计和告知社区参与的课程决策方面所经历的觉醒。这篇文章是一篇“小抄”。这是一项向教师教育工作者提供的探索和询问他们的身份和个人经历的服务，作为在课程中以黑人为中心的跳板。它源于我们童年时代，我们作为学者的职业生涯，以及尼普西之死激发的行动号召。这是对提升教师教育水平的呼吁。

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.
