A revolutionary framework for preservice teacher learning centered
on justice-focused coaching that encourages culturally responsive
practice and disrupts systems of oppression. In Coaching in
Communities, researcher Melissa Mosley Wetzel, along with her
coauthors, distills the lessons of an eight-year study into a
transformative educator training model, Coaching with CARE (an
acronym for critical and content-focused, appreciative, reflective,
and experiential). She demonstrates how effective, contextual
teacher training can be a cornerstone of educational justice, which
occurs when all learners are supported to be successful in school
and when schools expand notions of success to include diverse ways
of life and learning. Wetzel shows how this new framework, which
draws from behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, and critical models
of coaching, can be used in professional and informal learning
contexts, and in dialogue with families and communities, to upend
the status quo, break down the expert-novice distinction, and
cultivate just forms of practice. As Wetzel notes, the work of
justice is collaborative, sustained engagement in resistance to
marginalization, racism, and other inequities. Coaching in
Communities presents a set of tools, including shared inquiry and
coaching cycles of observation, reflection, and debriefing, and
demonstrates how they work in real-life settings. With these tools,
teacher education programs as well as districts, schools, and other
organizations can train for change, which is one essential step in
school transformation.
