Description

A framework used by Claremont's Teacher Education Program to integrate critical social justice teaching competencies across coursework, clinical practice, reflection, and evaluation for teacher candidates.

Components

• Claremont Critical Social Justice Teaching Competencies and classroom ecology framework with nine domains: Claremont's Teacher Education Program uses its Critical Social Justice Teaching Competencies as the foundation for coursework and clinical programming, so that every assignment and class develops skills to interrupt deficit schooling. The framework centers relationships and interactions between and among students and teachers, emphasizing humanizing classroom experiences. The competencies explicitly address nine domains: "(1) philosophy of education, (2) pedagogy, (3) science of learning (data-driven instruction), (4) socio-emotional learning and experience, (5) funds of knowledge, (6) school climate and culture, (7) community and cultural wealth, (8) socio-political identity, and (9) worldview and global perspectives." Faculty operationalize the stance through concrete, observable teaching practices. (Yun et al. (2025))

Claims

• In a qualitative case study of three social-studies teacher candidates, pedagogical judgment appeared to grow over a clinical semester of structured, iterative support aligned to rubric competencies [+W]
