Description¶

The authors encourage educational psychologists to avoid the trap of addressing theories first and adding a small, disconnected diversity section at the end of a chapter or course, which they say marginalizes the very inquiry being promoted. They note increasing inclusion of race and racism readings in syllabi, race-reimaged teaching of introductory courses, and race and diversity chapters in the new Handbook of Educational Psychology.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Faculty must do critical consciousness work to integrate race throughout course content rather than appending it

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• Educational psychology faculty
• Doctoral students in educational psychology

Target Learning Goals¶

• Teaching educational psychology with race centered
• Training doctoral students in culturally relevant methodologies such as QuantCrit

Affordances¶

• Race-reimaging ultimately transforms a race-less construct into a race-focused construct [+W]

Claims¶

• Racialized emotions are a race-focused construct educational psychologists have yet to explicate in teaching and learning [+W]

Related Strategies¶

• Establish Guidelines for Discussing Race
• Inclusive Cultural Response
