This book provides an illuminating account of teachers' own
reflections on their experiences of teaching in urban schools. It
was conceived as a direct response to policy-related and
media-generated concerns about male teacher shortage and offers a
critique of the call for more male role models in elementary
schools to address important issues regarding gender, race and the
politics of representation. By including the perspectives of
minority teachers and students, and by drawing on feminist, queer
and anti-racist frameworks, this book rejects the familiar tendency
to resort to role modelling as a basis for explaining or addressing
boys' disaffection with schooling. Indeed, the authors argue, on
the basis of their research in urban schools in Canada and
Australia, that educational policy concerned with male teacher
shortage and the plight of disadvantaged minority boys would
benefit from engaging with analytic perspectives and empirical
literature that takes readers beyond hegemonic discourses of role
modelling. A compelling case is presented for the need to
disarticulate discourses about role modelling from a politics of
representation that is committed to addressing the reality of the
impact of racial and structural inequalities on both minority
teachers and students' participation in the education system. The
book also provides insight into the persistence of gender
inequality as it relates to the status of elementary school
teaching as women's work.
