R.A.C.E. Mentoring and P-12 Educators (Research, Advocacy, Collaboration, and Empowerment Mentoring Series) Kindle Edition
This volume is divided into four interrelated sections. Section I focuses on mentoring practitioners as scholars during pre-service and in practice. Chapters in this section promote the use of methods coursework, narrative analysis and culturally relevant pedagogy to enhance practitioner agency and roles as scholars. Section II includes Culturally Responsive School Leadership (CRSL) as a way to recognize and address the historical examples and barriers to practitioner social justice activism. These chapters center the school setting and graduate coursework, using practitioner scholarship as a way to cultivate critical consciousness and the use of counter-narratives to combat racism, settler colonialism, and classism among school staff. Section III engages practitioner scholarship as a revolutionary approach through case study, auto-ethnography, review of literature, mental models, and phenomenological study. This section fosters the value of practitioner voice as agency to disrupt oppressive ideologies and beliefs that sustain inequitable and unequal school environments. Section IV provides curriculum, instruction, and parent involvement as examples of practitioner advocacy via personal and collective identity development, Black/Crit, Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) and engagement strategies. These final chapters provide details of policy and practice transformation methods that empower practitioner sustainability of student and parent access to equitable and inclusive school experiences.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2022An extremely powerful book of impactful narratives centered on education taken from first-hand accounts. Aaron Griffen has gathered prominent practitioners as scholars to share their expertise which yields insight into equity, diversity, and inclusion in this field. The themes, which have implications far beyond the obvious educational parallel, are skillfully handled. Ending with an African proverb, Griffen shares with readers the importance of educators owning their scholarship to become the architects that connects theory to practice in education.
