Students as Learners and Teachers: Taking Responsibility, Transforming Education, and Redefining Accountability

Using a three-part theoretical framework, the cultural relevance cycle—which consists of (a) knowing community dynamics, (b) knowing how community dynamics influence educational processes, and (c) implementing strategies that reflect cultural knowledge of the community—we examined teachers' and students' perspectives on culturally relevant physical education in urban settings. We observed and interviewed 53 physical education teachers and 183 students in urban districts over 4 years. We identified themes of care, respect, language and communication, and curricular content that explained how these teachers enacted the cultural relevance cycle. Within these themes, teachers and students specified global and discipline-specific components of care, the rflattening of social hierarchies among students and between students and teachers, accommodation of English as a second language and urban communication, and relevant curricular content as necessary for achieving cultural relevance. Enacting the cycle of cultu...

AFRICAN AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN A SPACE OF CREATIVE ENGAGEMENT:

African American high school students in a space of creative engagement: From can't to can

In this article we present two programs we have developed at Bryn Mawr College designed to effect socially just change on our campus and beyond. Both programs create forums for dialogue across differently positioned community members and ensure that students assume leadership roles in these efforts. In our discussion we describe the programs, identify their shared premises, and discuss preliminary findings—both benefits and challenges—from our ongoing study of participants' experiences in the programs. We highlight the kinds of personal changes participants experience as they pave the way for institutional change, and we emphasize how students lead all participants down the still unfolding paths these programs chart.
