Abstract: This symposium looks at teacher professional learning communities supporting "good trouble" across four teacher education contexts: 1) a professional learning community of pre-service teachers foregrounding culturally-infused pedagogies; 2) first-year teachers in Georgia grappling with teaching literature in socially just ways; 3) reflections of teacher candidates on moments of advocacy in translanguaging read-alouds, and 4) practitioner inquiry into roleplaying games as speculative pedagogies.

I'm listening ๐ŸŽง to Hafsah Faizal's A Tempest of Tea. The voice actor Maya Saroya is wonderful.
