White educators comprise between 85-92 percent of the current
teaching force in the United States, yet in the race toward leaving
no child behind, contemporary educational research often invests
significant time and energy looking for ways to reach students who
represent difference without examining the nature of those who do
the work of educating the nation's public school children.
Educational research that has looked at racial identity is often
void of earnest discussion of the identity of the teachers, how
that identity impacts teacher beliefs about students and families,
and ultimately how teachers frame their understanding of the
profession. This book takes readers on a journey to explore the
nature of pre-service teachers' narratives as a means of better
understanding racial identity and the way teachers enter the
profession. Through a case study analysis approach, Examining White
Racial Identity and Profession with Pre-service Teachers examines
the nature of white racial identity as seen through the narratives
of nine pre-service teachers as well as his own struggles with
racial identity. This text draws on racial identity, critical race
theory, and discourse and narrative analysis to reveal how
participants in the study used discourse structures to present
beliefs about race and their own understandings and ultimately how
the teachers' narratives display underdeveloped understandings of
their choices to become educators. Fasching-Varner also critically
examines his own racial identity auto-ethnographically, and
ultimately proposes a new, non-developmental model for thinking
about white racial identity. This text aims to help teacher
educators and teachers to work against the privileges of whiteness
so as to better engage students in culturally relevant ways.
