Abstract: This project explores what community-based teacher education can look like when teacher educators design a training program that emphasizes entangling community-centered knowledge and theory within a week-long preservice teacher institute. We explore the question: How does a bricoleur teacher institute re-imagine pre-service teacher preparation design toward contextualizing issues of place, justice, and criticality? The programming utilized placed-based education, social movement theorizing, and critical pedagogy to immerse pre-service teachers in their local context, visiting community-based organizations and centers for historical social movements within the local and national context, and engaged popular education principles centering a knowing-in-being that emphasized criticality and justice.
