Yet current policies focused on elevating testing and performativity are contributing to student and teacher anxiety and alienation. This book offers a counternarrative to neoliberal standardized preservice teacher development and assessment processes. The author examines how a cohort of teacher educators worked alongside their preservice teachers—both groups predominately White and female—to redesign their teacher education program. Sherfinski reveals how the narrative portfolio, an inquiry-based alternative to accreditation and standards-based assessments, was designed to locally document, resist, and disrupt the status quo. The narrative portfolio speaks back to standardized preservice teacher assessments by providing spaces for teacher candidates to demonstrate their knowledge of theory and practice as enacted in the natural settings of school and community. \u003cem\u003eRooted in Belonging\u003c\/em\u003e shows why humanizing, democratic, place-based practices should be at the forefront of teacher education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eProvides a rare portrait of equity-based teacher education at the confluence of place-based approaches, student diversity, and teacher education.  \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eGrapples with tough issues such as how the shared Whiteness of preservice teachers and children and their families play out alongside their differences.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eExplores how educators negotiate deep ideological differences while still preparing teachers for critical work.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eExamines how the current political climate around Black Lives Matters, the 2020 presidential election, and the COVID-19 pandemic contribute to the challenges of working in communities. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDiscusses how race, space, time, and settler colonialism shape the work of preservice teachers and their teacher educators.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eShares action research and teacher leadership assignments, critical thinking and planning exercises, personal reflections, and preservice teachers' narrative portfolio artifacts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents (Tentative)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"The Bubble\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace-Based Education and Its Potential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Dynamic Charge for Teacher Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.  \u003cbr\u003eThe Need for Place-Based Teacher Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Contexts for the Book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Challenges Connecting the Places\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy We Needed Place-Based Teacher Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeoliberal Challenges to Place-Based Teacher Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReclaiming Accountability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallenges of Reclaiming Accountability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat'\u003cbr\u003es Next?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.  \u003cbr\u003eTheoretical Framework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Nature of Meaning-Making\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Approaches to Place-Based Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHumanizing Place-Based Education in School Classrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace-Based Teacher Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNegotiation: Sensing and Resisting Neoliberal Policies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuestions for Reflection and Discussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat'\u003cbr\u003es Next?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.  \u003cbr\u003eThe Narrative Portfolio Project\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Context of the Teacher Education Program\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Narrative Portfolio as a Counter-Narrative to Failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuestions for Reflection and Discussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat'\u003cbr\u003es Next?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.  \u003cbr\u003eResisting Neoliberalism Through Place-Based Narrative Portfolio Work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Getting Lost in Places\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVignette 1.
