Abstract

Abstract:Scholars have argued that college preparation for Black students is the civil rights issue for our times. While Black students hold high aspirations for future success, their college and career readiness in literacy is often mitigated by instructional barriers in K–8 classrooms. In this article, the author offers a set of principles, inspired by the work of the late Brazilian educator Paulo Freire that teachers can use to enhance Black students’ college and career readiness. The treatise outlines four instructional principles that help Black students critically “read the word and the world”: (a) Leverage students’ community knowledge and career aspirations for literacy skill instruction; (b) Center students’ racial literacies and conventional literacies within instruction; (c Promote liberatory literacies through conventional, creative, and critical writing; and (d) Inspire skill development, critique, and action through “problem-posing” projects.
通过读写指导提高黑人学生的大学和职业准备:K-8课堂的自由启发方法
摘要:学者们认为黑人学生的大学准备是我们这个时代的民权问题。虽然黑人学生对未来的成功抱有很高的期望,但他们在读写方面的大学和职业准备往往被K-8课堂上的教学障碍所削弱。在这篇文章中,作者提供了一套原则,灵感来自已故巴西教育家保罗·弗莱雷的工作,教师可以使用这些原则来提高黑人学生的大学和职业准备。这篇论文概述了帮助黑人学生批判性地“阅读世界和世界”的四项教学原则:(a)利用学生的社区知识和职业抱负进行识字技能教学;(b)将学生的种族文化和传统文化纳入教学范围;(c)通过传统的、创造性的和批判性的写作促进解放性的读写能力;(d)通过“问题提出”项目激发技能发展、批评和行动。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Negro Education (JNE), a refereed scholarly periodical, was founded at Howard University in 1932 to fill the need for a scholarly journal that would identify and define the problems that characterized the education of Black people in the United States and elsewhere, provide a forum for analysis and solutions, and serve as a vehicle for sharing statistics and research on a national basis. JNE sustains a commitment to a threefold mission: first, to stimulate the collection and facilitate the dissemination of facts about the education of Black people; second, to present discussions involving critical appraisals of the proposals and practices relating to the education of Black people.
