Portraits of Anti-racist Alternative Routes to Teaching in the U.S.

"Given the ongoing debate regarding alternative teacher preparation, Gist challenges traditional teacher preparation with exemplars of routes that have successfully recruited, prepared, and retained underrepresented teachers committed to social justice. For each route presented in the chapters, commentaries are uniquely provided to extend the conversation. This volume will assist teacher educators in developing a vision of new possibilities without compromising our commitment to educational and social justice." —Belinda Bustos Flores, Ph.D., Professor & Associate Dean of Professional Preparation, Assessment, & Accreditation, University of Texas at San Antonio
"This is an enduring architectural digest that features structural innovations that support the entry of Teachers of Color to the profession. Critical teacher development that includes pillars—relational, intersectional and collective—makes this a timeless design for communities and teacher education visionaries." —La Vonne I. Neal, Ph.D., Associate Vice President & Professor, Northern Illinois University
