- W2994436922 abstract "Educators frequently claim that the projects in which they are involved are democratic. However, considering the multiple and often conflicting notions of democracy and democratic education, are there any shared understandings of what either of those notions means? Does the claim that a project is democratic carry with it any shared assumptions, commitments, or obligations? In this response, I extend the conversation started by the authors of that article by proposing a critical democracy audit of their education project, and I offer a preliminary collection of questions, developed from recent literature on democratic education, that might be considered for use in such an audit. This article is a response to: C. Buxton, S. Kayumova, and M. AllexsahtSnider. (2013). Teacher, Researcher, and Accountability Discourses: Creating Space for Democratic Science Teaching Practices in Middle Schools. Democracy & Education, 21(2). Article 2. Available online at http://democracyeducationjournal.org/home/vol21/ Iss2/2. In this response to “Teacher, Researcher, and Accountability Discourses: Creating Space for Democratic Science Teaching Practices in Middle Schools” (Buxton, Kayumova, & AllexsahtSnider, 2013), I pose several sets of questions to interrogate the LISELL project the authors describe in their paper. The LISELL curriculum project claims a democratic goal— to increase ELL middle school students’ fluency in using scientific language and thereby promote their ultimate ability to participate in a democracy. However, in terms of democratic education practice, other aspects of the project are troubling. Reading “Teacher, Researcher and Accountability Discourses,” I was struck by elements of the authors’ curriculum project, professional development program, research report, and discourse analysis that seemed less than optimally democratic, especially with respect to the participation and representation of the middle school teachers involved. My critique’s theoretical framework is an extension of Dewey’s (1916/1966) vision of education for democracy, as articulated by Benson, Harkavy, and Puckett (2007) in Dewey’s Dream: Universities and Democracies in an Age of Education Reform. Within this extended vision, teachers— those who are called upon to educate youth for participation in a dynamic democratic society— enjoy abundant, authentic opportunities to participate as professionals, develop robust democratic skills, engage their students in democratic learning, and exercise agency and authority in their professional lives. This vision is aligned with views of teachers as curriculum designers rather than mere curriculum users (Connelly & Clandinin, 1992; Craig, 2009). It is supported by Kincheloe, who argued in 1991 (and again in 2003), that teachers should engage in qualitative research as a path to empowerment. My theoretical position is aligned with those who resist the controlling and deskilling of teachers in a neoliberal age (e.g., Apple, 1988). My critique is offered in the spirit of DarlingHammond’s summary of the new ideal: moving beyond a world in which those who think and plan are separated from those who teach and do the work; they are working to understand schooling, teaching, and change by engaging in the work as well as by studying it and by creating collaboratives for democratic work and action. (DarlingHammond, 1996, p. 15) I call my proposed questions a critical democracy audit, modeled after democratic audits that have been designed to assess Kathleen Greene is a professor and teacher educator in the Education and Youth Studies Department at Beloit College. She teaches a range of subjects, including science and math teaching methods, courses on higher education, and an introductory, foundations course, Education in a Democratic Society. She completed her doctoral work in science education at the University of Wisconsin– Madison." @default.
