Abstract

This research explores figured worlds in relation to students’ learning identities. Three themes were identified: identity development through learning environments, student positioning and power dynamics, and the production of worlds of possibility. Drawing on these themes, the project evaluates current practices at a public middle school in the Pacific Northwest and provides targeted recommendations to align site practices with equity-driven, identity-affirming pedagogies.
