“…To do so means that, as literacy scholars and specialists, we need to learn more about how our educational school systems create systemic oppression within school practices that influence learning and literacy. (Ladson‐Billings & Dixson, 2022; Nieto & Bode, 2018; Picower & Mayorga, 2015). We must also know how to teach about culturally responsive literacy instruction and learn how to confront literacy practices that view students through a deficit lens instead of seeing their excellence, identity, and genius (Kane & Savitz, 2022; Cantrell et al., 2022; Kinloch et al., 2020; Muhammad, 2023).…”

School requests for professional learning on adolescent literacy often stem from low or stagnant reading scores on state standardized assessments and legislative policies that require educators to complete literacy coursework. These decisions are often made without teachers' voices, requiring teachers to take coursework they may not need or learn in ways that may not align with their content. To address this issue, we used our researcher‐created and validated survey to ask middle and high school teachers about their self‐efficacy toward adolescent literacy based on various professional characteristics, such as years of experience, teaching grade levels, content area, and taking the state‐required literacy courses. Findings note that certain disciplines are more efficacious toward specific literacy practices, and taking state‐required literacy courses is insignificant. Our implications are written for literacy scholars and teacher educators to revisit the premise and promise of the 2017 ILA Standards for K‐12 literacy professionals, emphasizing the importance of being cognizant of our strengths and highlighting the need for collaborating and learning with and from teachers of all disciplines.

“…Au's work, more explicit in critique, suggests that such measures reinscribe the existing racial social order and leads to curricula and pedagogies that are culturally irrelevant and cater to "no-excuse" practices. White (2015), Sondal (2013), Henry and Warren's (2017), and Henry's (2021) work illustrates that within these "no-excuse" charter schools, punitive pedagogies of compliance locate teaching on grids of rules, regulations, punishments, reordering of student cultures, and colonizing curriculum. Moreover, research is illuminating how students with disabilities are under severed and under enrolled in charter schools (Barnard-Brak et al, 2018).…”

The linking of school choice and charter schools to the legacy of Black alternative education and civil rights initiatives is a central discursive galvanizing and organizing tool for charter proponents, as it aims to provide legitimacy to the charter movement, while simultaneously coopting Black critiques of the institution of education as a means to further neoliberal restructurings of the state. In this paper, I posit there exists a conceptual and political distinction between school choice and efforts of Black educational self-determination, an approach to challenge white dominance and supremacy. The paper engages in a historical analysis exploring the history of school choice and Black educational self-determination.

“…The pushout of Black educators continues today due to neoliberal urban school reforms such as school closings, high stakes testing, privatization of schools, charter schools, and bringing in a regime of white under experienced teachers from programs like Teach for America (TFA) in the name of fixing the national teacher shortage (Buras, 2016;Lipman, 2017;Picower & Mayorga, 2015). Meanwhile, many universities are trying to meet the call to diversify the teacher force which would benefit students of color and white students (Strauss, 2015).…”
