How African Nova Scotians envision culturally relevant and sustaining pedagogy as civic repair

Abstract: African Nova Scotians constitute the largest multigenerational Black Canadian community, with 400 years of presence in Atlantic Canada. Despite the end of de jure school segregation in 1954, African Nova Scotians' social and cultural capital were not incorporated in curricular and pedagogical practices. Using the theoretical framework of cultural trauma, this article draws from a qualitative study conducted using semi-structured interviews and focus groups with sixty participants. A cultural trauma process tak… Show more

“…School administrators can focus on addressing anti-Black racism, adopting a culturally relevant and sustaining curriculum and pedagogy, and increasing the number of Black teachers and staff in schools. These participants' suggestions reiterate recommendations from previous reports and published articles, as well (Barjun Consultants, 2001;BLAC Implementation Review Committee, 2003;Black Learners Advisory Committee, 1994;Brathwaite, 2010;Dei, 1996;Hamilton-Hinch et al, 2017;Jean-Pierre, 2021;Lee & Marshall, 2009). Once more, participants highlighted the importance of taking seriously anti-Black racism incidents, providing anti-racist training to teachers and staff, integrating Black history, culture, and knowledges in the curriculum, and increasing the presence of Black role models in schools with Black teachers and African Nova Scotian student support workers.…”

“…Other barriers to learning should also be removed, and scholars have indicated that, in order to address misconduct, it is paramount that schools address students' academic and other complex needs (Gregory & Cornell, 2009;Simmons, 2009). In fact, scholars have proposed that the achievement gap and school discipline disproportionality are interrelated, and should be addressed simultaneously by focusing on a range of needs, such as mental health, learning disabilities, poverty, literacy, and a lack of a culturally relevant curriculum (Beckford, 2016;Fowler, 2011;Gregory et al, 2010;Jean-Pierre, 2021;Noguera, 2003;Skiba & Losen, 2015). Edith's comment below reflects the importance of responding to immediate needs.…”

“…Selon des études plus récentes, les parents et les élèves afro‐canadiens observent que quand il s'agit d’élèves noirs, les enseignant.e.s ont des attentes peu élevées envers leurs résultats scolaires (Beagan & Etowa, 2009 ; Hamilton‐Hinch et al., 2021 ; Jean‐Pierre, 2021 ; Malinen & Roberts‐Jeffers, 2021 ). James ( 2012 ) a expliqué ce phénomène en faisant le constat que les élèves noirs sont souvent encouragés à se développer sur le plan sportif ou artistique, mais peu sur le plan scolaire.…”

“…Bien que les Afro‐Néo‐Écossais réclament depuis plusieurs décennies la mise en place d'un curriculum plus inclusif, le matériel scolaire reflète peu le capital culturel et social des élèves noirs (Hamilton‐Hinch et al., 2021 ; Jean‐Pierre, 2021 ). D'une part, après la déségrégation des écoles dans les années 1950, les écoles publiques n'ont pas intégré les savoirs et le savoir‐faire pédagogique développés dans les écoles ségréguées des communautés noires (Jean‐Pierre, 2021 ). D'autre part, après la déségrégation des écoles, les écoles publiques n'ont pas consulté ou intégré le personnel enseignant noir qui travaillait dans les écoles ségréguées (Jean‐Pierre, 2021 ).…”
