Abstract
In keeping with this year’s theme “Knowledge to Action: Achieving the Promise of Equal Educational Opportunity” this presentation focuses on how a team of graduate students and other stakeholders put into practice the tenets of an African American Pedagogical Model (AAPM) (Croft & Pogue, under contract; Walker, 2016 AERA Research on Black Education Sig; Walker 1996, 2009) to create and sustain a university/school collaboration. Principles from this historical model undergirded Teaching in the Urban South (TITUS), a contemporary initiative, and provided the basis for this P-12 collaboration. It explores the overarching question: Can a historical model be used to create an authentic P-12 collaboration.
This presentation relies on information collected and analyzed from field notes, observations, and interviews during the two-year TITUS Initiative where stakeholders planned and executed three professional development conferences. Further, this presentation is significant because it explicates how tenets of a historical model can be used to mitigate the challenges of creating authentic collaborations among contemporary P-12 stakeholders. It also demonstrates how a historical model can be used in a contemporary setting to deliver services to improve educational realities for all children, particularly those marginalized in urban school settings.
