This qualitative case study examines how fifth graders and their teachers participated in critical literacy instruction grounded in systems thinking on the topic of slavery. Systems thinking seeks to discover relationships and patterns in diverse underlying systems; critical literacy examines everyday texts, focuses on social justice and change, and promotes transformative practices. Classroom observations, photographs, interviews, and student artifacts were collected and analyzed to provide insight into students’ understandings of patterns of slavery from American colonial times to modern-day trafficking. Through a range of texts and different modalities, students sought to understand different group perspectives and ultimately took action to disrupt an unjust system. Three aspects of students’ learning led them to an agentic role: (1) crossing boundaries across time and differences, (2) developing a holistic worldview, and (3) reimagining a different world and altering the existing discourse.

The global shift toward neoliberalism, which frames the education of young children through markets, credentials, and individualism, creates a range of challenges for those who call for and seek out democratic teaching practices that strive to address the sociocultural worlds of the children in their programs. This article begins to address this issue. It does so by examining the findings from a qualitative case study that investigated how the practical conceptions of sample of early childhood graduate students in the United States were affected by developing and implementing a learning activity with children that reflected issues central to their lives in and/or outside their classrooms. Investigating and analyzing their experiences provide members of the early childhood community with steps they might take to assist early educators in framing their roles as teachers through democratic conceptions of practice that they can then implement within their early education context.
