Overview

Qualitative case studies reveal how bilingual educators cultivate critical content knowledge and culturally sustaining practices in interactive read-alouds.

Key Points

  • Teachers prepared for teaching through the development of Humanizing Critical Sociocultural Knowledge (HCSK), and participated in ongoing reflection.
  • Findings reveal that interactive read-alouds with justice-oriented picturebooks effectively foster student engagement and critical thinking.
  • This qualitative multi-case study employed ethnographic methods, analyzing interviews, classroom observations, and artifacts from dual language contexts.
  • The implications highlight the need for teacher education programs to prioritize HCSK and culturally sustaining pedagogies in literacy instruction.
