| Abstract Title: | (Re)imagining Success Through Photovoice At a High-Achieving Urban Charter School |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | The talk highlights photovoice, a participatory method that gives power to creators of images to capture experiences that are central to their life. Black and Latinx students verbal considerations of success in the context of their urban charter school is included, as is a sample of students' visual data about what success is outside of their schooling context. The study reveals the school's "no-excuses" orientation to teaching and learning fosters an oppressive definition of success in the context of classrooms. However, photovoice reveals students are able to resist the limited view as four emergent findings reveal how students (re)imagine success. Lastly, implications about what educators and school communities may learn, if students were seen as active co-constructors in the design and implementation of their own education is discussed. |
