- Abstract
There is a slow but growing body of literature on the pedagogies and schooling practices of Black male teachers. However, few of these studies elicit the voices of Black maternal caregivers regarding the ways in which pedagogies and schooling practices support Black boys in early childhood classrooms. In this article, the author uses a multidimensional framework—including Culturally Relevant Pedagogy, Critical Race Theory, Critical Race Feminism, and a counterstorytelling methodology—to elicit the voices of two Black maternal caregivers who spoke about the pedagogies and schooling practices of a Black male kindergarten teacher. Findings revealed that these caregivers perceived that this Black male kindergarten teacher addressed the collective and individual needs of Black boys. They also perceived this Black male teacher as minimizing the intergenerational racialized distrust Black maternal caregivers have toward White teachers and other educational professionals.
