Abstract

As the prominent producers of Black teachers in the nation, HBCUs play a critical role in ensuring that educators entering the teaching profession are equipped with the knowledge of what it means to be culturally competent. In this chapter, the infusion of culturally relevant teaching (CRT) in a teacher preparation program at an urban HBCU is explored. Preservice teachers engaged in this work expressed various perspectives and the following themes were revealed based on both written reflections and one-on-one interviews: resisting negativity, prioritizing K12 learners, culture and academic success, and the power of reflection and introspection. Also, an overview of new courses infusing CRT into the current curriculum and an in-depth review of a course solely focused on culturally relevant instruction are included for insights into the process for CRT infusion.
