Re-Writing Our Place Together

Abstract

As three professors, an early career classroom teacher, and a preservice teacher, we co-created and taught a one-day Literacy Symposium. It was designed to be a place to learn diverse literacies, wrestle in dialogue, and unlearn a colonized literacy experientially. We wanted our preservice teachers to see the vast number of knowledges that exist, and can come alive in classrooms. With these intentions in our hearts, we inquire into the practitioner question, “What did we learn from co-teaching and co-composing this literacy symposium, and what will we do for our preservice teachers and the people-to-be with that learning?”. We share our investigation and journey.
