Description
"To educate is simply to form," Freire (1998, 39) tells us. Who forms and who is being formed? And how do we prepare ethical, critically conscious educators who will, as Freire envisions, respect their students as whole human beings? How do we foster a critical consciousness in new teachers, teachers who themselves are part of a culture that is embedded with inequity and oppressive systems, schools being one of the most important systems to maintain and normalize social injustice. "Teachers are not simply curriculum dispensers, but rather are cultural workers committed to addressing the contextual issues facing our students, our schools, and our communities" (Kincheloe, et al., 2000, p. 5). To become cultural workers, a critical consciousness--a wide awakeness--is required. This article examines the fostering of critical consciousness in new teachers through student teaching abroad.
