摘要

As a former secondary school communication teacher and recent graduate student in a professional communication program, I share insights in this commentary into how I have struggled for social justice and activist-oriented pedagogies in light of the growing "demand" for communication education to be responsive to the "need" for skilled communicators in the corporate workplace. Elementary and secondary school teachers often develop their practice by negotiating between mandated curriculum expectations, personal politics and teaching philosophies, and the needs and interests of students. Since my days in teacher education, I have been studying anti-oppressive education, exploring ways to introduce youth to social justice issues and engage them in community action and social change. In 2013,I joined an independent kindergarten to grade 12 (K-12) school that explicitly espoused social justice and feminist approaches to teaching. However, my excitement was short-lived-some students actively resisted and openly challenged my community-based, action-oriented, and student-centred pedagogy. During one particularly challenging month, a group of my students were growing more agitated with how our information and communication technologies (ICTs) course was designed-one recent unit required them to design and implement an awareness, outreach, and collection campaign for electronic waste recycling. This initiative challenged not only their critical and creative thinking but also required students to work on an environmental issue beyond a short lesson, written reflection, or one-off event in the school or community. In retrospect, I recognize they were looking for traditional assignments, tests, and exams for which they needed to simply memorize and regurgitate facts and formulas. I received mixed messages from my administrators, getting both support and admonishment for how I structured the course.
