Introduction

Youth-voicedrivenafter-schoolscienceclubsareimportantvenuesforimmigrantyouthtoengagewithscienceandmedia in meaningful ways (Rahm, 2013). They also provide safe spaces for them to explore their history ofimmigration and aspirations for the future (Rahm, Lachaîne, Martel-Reny and Kanouté, 2012). They offermultilingual and transcultural childrenand youthopportunities tomobilize their funds of knowledge to supportgenerative and transformative ways of learning and becoming (Tan and Calabrese Barton, 2012). Communityprogramsandafter-school science clubsalsoprovide important settings forpreservice teachers tomakecontactwithyouthwithdifferenthistoriesfromtheirownlivingincommunitiesthatareunknowntothem.Throughsuchplacements,preserviceteacherslearnaboutimmigrantstudents’lives,developconnectionswiththeircommunitiesand families and gain an understanding of the rich funds of knowledge immigrant students bring to a learningsituation (McDonald, Bowman and Brayko, 2013;Murrell, 2000). Few studies, however, have explored in detailhow youth-voice driven after-school science clubs develop over time in urban centres and settings that serve astudentbodythatisvastlydiverseintermsoflanguage,countryoforiginandimmigrationhistory.Wealsoneedtobetterunderstandhowsuchsettingsandpracticesenrichthelocallearningecologiesofunderservedcommunitiesandstudentswithcompleximmigrationhistories,aswellasothersinadjacentuniversitieswhorarelyventureintolearningecologies thatareunfamiliar to them.Weneed toexplorehowyouth-voicedriven after-school scienceclubs mediate the development of alliances that support transformative learning for the involved youth anduniversity students in education. The latter is particularly important given the extent towhichmost university-basedteachereducationprogramsarestilldisconnectedfrompractice(Zeichner,2010aand2010b).Wealsoknowthat, ingeneral,preservice teachersarenotadequatelyprepared torespond totheacademicstrugglesstudentsexperienceasaresultofculturaldiscontinuitiestiedtoculture,languageandhistoriesthatarequitedifferentfromtheirown(Potvin,MagnanandLarochelle-Audet,2016).Thisispartiallyduetoinsufficientaccesstopedagogicallysoundprogramsinunderservedcommunitiesforyouthandpreserviceteachers(Murrell,2000).

In this paper, we respond to these concerns in the context of an action research project that involved thedevelopmentofafter-schoolscienceclubsinthreehighschoolsinMontreal,Quebec,servinganethnicallydiversestudentpopulation(80%refugee/first-orsecond-generationimmigrantyouth)inanurbancentre.Wefirstprovideabriefdescriptionoftheconceptualgroundingofthestudy.Wealsosummarizesomeofthepertinent literatureon community-based teacher education.

Inspired by Connected Learning Principles, we endorsed interest-powered learning that is peer-supported andacademically oriented (Ito et al., 2013).We were committed to equity, social connection and full participationthrough the jointproductionof video sciencedocumentaries that could thenbe sharedwith the schooland thecommunity.

Bydevelopingallianceswithcommunityresources,theclubofferedyouthlearningenvironmentsthatwereusuallyinaccessible to them. In so doing, our goal was to support immigrant youth as they navigated a wide range ofmeaningful andempowering educational settings and practices—a second formof cross-setting learning (Ching,Santo,HoadleyandPeppler,2015).Researchsuggeststhatfirst-andsecond-generationimmigrantyouthoftenlackaccess to a solid network of learning opportunities. Inprior studies, immigrant parents had alsoexpressed thatengagementinafter-schoolandsummeractivitieswasnotapracticetheywereusedto(Rahm,2012;Rahm,2013).It is exactly that kindofbrokeringworkbyparents,however, that is apartof growingup formostmiddle-andupper-classchildrenintheWesternworld, leadingtohyper-parentinginsomecases,withmostofchildren’sfreetimetakenupbystructuredextra-curricularactivities(Barron,2010;Gutiérrez,Izquierdo,&Kremer-Sadlik,2010).Lackofopportunitiescombinedwithlackofaccessibilityclearlyputsimmigrantyouthinunderservedcommunitiesat a disadvantage. It is this situation that led not only to the creation of the clubs, but also to an alliance andinternshipwiththebotanicalgardenandanengineeringcampinthesummer,aswellasfieldtripstomuseumsandparksduringtheschoolyear.

Theprojectwasalsoaresponsetothecurrentcomplexdynamicrelatedtoneoliberalismandglobalization,whichhasresultedinastudentbodythatisincreasinglydiverseethnically,culturallyandlinguistically,whilethestudentpopulation in teacher education programs has become astonishingly homogenous: primarilywhite,middle-classandculturallymainstream(Murrell,2000;Zeichner,2010a).Neoliberalism’scommodificationofteachereducation,withitsemphasisonknowledgeproduction,accountabilityandatechnicistviewofteachers,hasfurtherfuelledthedisconnectbetweentheoryandpractice.Theresulthasbeenstrongpubliccriticismofuniversityprogramsandtheprivatizationofmany teachereducationprograms in theUnitedStates(Coffey,2010;Zeichner,2010a&b). Someuniversities have responded to these tensions by developing social justice and equity-driven teacher educationprograms in the community (McDonald et al., 2013). Research suggests that ongoing community placements insuchprogramshelppreserviceteacherstodevelopadeeperunderstandingofthechildren,theircommunityandstudentdiversity.Suchplacementsalsoofferameansofunderstandingschoolingfromaperspectiveoutsideoftheactual school, which can foster an appreciation of the vast variety of learning contexts that students have tonavigate. In making a case for teacher education in the community, Murrell (2000) introduced the term“communityteacher,”whichheusestorefertoanindividualwhoknowsandvaluesthecommunityanditscultureandmobilizes it inways that support student learning.Communityteachers typically live in theneighbourhoodswherethey teach,andarethemselvesproductsofpublicurbanschools. Theyhavea cultural,politicalandracialidentitythatnaturallylendsitselftoequity-driventeaching.TheFifthDimensionmodelexpandsontheseideasbyusingapartnershipmodelbetweentheuniversityandthecommunityandplacingstudentsinafter-schoolclubsinthecontextofcommunity-orientedteachereducationprograms(Cole,2006;Floresetal.,2014)orservice-learningprojectsrelated tocoursework (Jurow,Tracy,Hotchkiss,andKirshner,2012).Thepartnership impliesatwo-wayexchangebetweentheoryandpractice,offeringstudentsopportunitiestoappropriateatransworldpedagogybyengaginginabiculturalexchangethathelpsthemtranscendbordersthatarenewtothem(Arreguin-Anderson&Kennedy, 2014; Flores, Vasquez and Clark, 2014;Gutiérrez and Vossoughi, 2012). Club placements involve bothserviceandlearning(Coffey,2010).Consequently,inthispaper,weexploretransformativelearningasexperiencedbybothyouthandpreserviceteachers.

MethodologyWe draw on qualitative data from one of the three clubs1 and its connected learning opportunities (summerinternships),gatheredover threeyearsthroughvisualethnography,participantobservationand interviewsofallparticipants(2011-2014;Green,SkukauskaiteandCordova,2007;Pink,2001).

Theclubofferedtheyoungpeopleaformofengagementwithscienceandtechnologythattheyenjoyedandthatwas quite different from the heavily charged science curriculum at their school.

For example, aswe prepared thesecondvideoproductionondeforestation,weencouragedclubmemberstoreflectonwhattheyhadlearnedfromgatheringinformationontheInternet:

Moustapha:Themost interestingthing I found [gigglesandmovesaroundonhischair,makeseverybodygiggle]it’s…thebehaviourtowardsthehuman…

Jian:What I learned is, like,whenthereare a lot ofmoose…no, they are elks (…) andwhen(…) there ismorewolvesormoosethanwolves…[strugglingtoarticulatehisidea]

Note how challenging it was for them to articulate their ideas.Moustaphawas struck by the fact that humansdestroy important animal habitats by deforestation without ever seeing it as a selfish act. Jian appeared tounderstandthesystemicrelationshipbetweenwolvesandmoose(orelks)andpopulationdensity,whichsuggestedthathewasslowlydevelopinganunderstandingofhowanecosystemworks.Whileparticipantshadopportunitiesto appropriate scientific languagewhich seemed challenging to all of them—not just the allophones—they alsolearned a lot about natural science through our focus on biodiversity and the second video project ondeforestation.Ourdialoguesessionsgaveclubmembersopportunitiestodeveloptheirownpointofviewonthesecontroversial issuesandenrich their knowledgeof science (Wassell,MartinandScantlebury,2013).As shown inFigure2, it led toa videodocumentaryondeforestation, co-producedby thewholegroup.Thefinalproductionshows Yassine on stage with the scientist interviewing the ecologist and expanding on questions his team haddeveloped,woventogetherwithothersectionson topicsparticipantscaredabout, likethebriefcoverageofthepumaattheendoftheclip.

My observations helped me to come into contact with ethnically diverse youth since I come from a primarily white,québécoisneighbourhood.

Ithoughtascienceclubinaschooljugglingmanydifficultieswouldneverwork.AndIwashappytoseethatitdid!

Even though it is an after-school activity, youth were interested in science and the projects. I didn’t expect that. I alsonoticedthatthestudentswerealreadyquitecritical.

Thesequotesfromthepreserviceteacherswhovisitedourclubsontwooccasionsaspartofacourseassignmentintheir teacher education program underline the importance of undoing preconceived notions about immigrantyouth and ethnically diverse communities and schools. What we engaged in was another form of “brokeringlearningopportunities.”Thequotesclearlyillustratethekindsofimagesstudentteachersbringtotheireducationaboutethnicallydiverseschoolsandyouthandtheirownhistory,deeplygrounded inamythofthemonolingualclassroomthatinmostcasesprohibitstransformativelearning.Theorganizationofpreserviceactivitiesinsettingsthestudentswouldotherwisenotventure into isclearly important (Onore&Gildin,2010;Murrell,2000),as thefollowingreflectionbyastudentteachersuggests:

WhenIenteredtheschoolIfeltlikeastranger,whichisinpartwhatIexpected.Andthen,theyouthwereveryfriendlyandwelcoming and were not challenged in anyway by our presence.

The challenge for a teacher education program, then, is to engage with these visions of schools and youth inunderserved and ethnically diverse communities and help student teachers develop other ways of seeing andrelatingtoyouthofcolour(Coffey,2009;Hallman,2012).Ray’sstoryoffersanotherillustrationofthatprocess:

…thediversity in thisschoolwasamazing; I'veneverreallyseenthat, justsomanystudents fromotherbackgroundsandculture.And I felt reallywelcome,Imean I'mkindofthe funnyguy,Imeantheylaughatmyaccent,but theydoit reallynicely,anditkindofcreatesabond,it'sourwayofconnecting;theymakefunofmyaccent,butinagood-heartedway.SoIfelt reallywelcomed intheclub, theteacherswerereallywelcoming,andespeciallyconsideringI'mnot... like,sometimesthey comeupand they say something, and it's too fast and I don't get the accent, andpeople arequiteunderstanding.[Interview,Ray,2012]

Ray’s own struggles with French as a second language helped him to experience first-hand what a transworldpedagogy implies,suchasbeingrespectfulofeachotherandbuildingononeanother’sstrengths.Healsofoundtheconnectionswithhis teachereducationcourseworkofferedbyhis teachingexperience intheclubextremelyvaluable:

I think the really important thing for me was linking it to my classes and having read the kind of "radical" literature,alternative literaturetotheacademicwritingthat'sevidencebased,thatkindofgavemetheconfidencefor teachingandbeingabletoimplementit.Thatwasreallybig.(Interview,Ray,2012]

Implementingayouth-voicecentredpedagogyandtakingontheroleofmentorandguidethroughouttheprojectwaschallenging,however.Raywassurprisedbyhowmuchguidance the studentsneeded.Healsoovercamehisownpreconceivedideasabouttechnology“’causeatthebeginningthatscaredme.Iwas,like,howamIgonnadothis?Idon'tevenknowhowtousethatstuff[i-Moviesoftware]!”

Two of Ray’s courses in his teacher education programoverlappedwith hiswork in the club and its underlyingphilosophy:onecourse inneoliberaleducationandanotheron scienceeducation.The latterfocusedstronglyontheideaofusingstudents’interestinscienceasastartingpointinsteadofstickingtoapredeterminedcurriculum.AlthoughRaysawthisasahugechallengeinaregularclassroomofabout28students,itwassomethinghecouldpursueinthecontextoftheclub:

Ray’sexperienceintheclubnotonlyledtoadeepappreciationofayouth-centredpedagogy,butalsohelpedhimquestiontheobjectivesofscienceeducationandwhatcanbeconsideredas“science.”Ray wasabletoseebeyondthe video production as the key objective of the activity and appreciate the educational process behind itsproduction:

EventhoughRaywonderedhowhecouldapplyasimilarpedagogyinaclassroomsettingwithmorestudents,theclubhelpedhim to reflectonhis futurepositionasa science teacherand thekindsofpracticeshemight try tofosterinhisclassroom:

So having that conversation at theuniversity and then seeing it in practicewas really cool.[Interview,Ray,2012]

Theopportunitytoteachinanafter-schoolsettingprovidedawaytogettoknowyouthofcolourwho,althoughthey were struggling academically, brought rich cultural knowledge to the science practice—resulting intransformative learning for Ray (Hallman, 2012). He gained a better understanding of the cultural processes oflearningandwhatitmeanswhenchildrenandteachersconstructthecurriculumtogether(Jurowetal.,2012).Healsodevelopedadeepappreciationforthetypeoflearningthatoccursoutsideoftheclassroom(McDonaldetal.,2013).

For the student teachers, the internship or coursework provided ameans to engagewithmultilingual studentsandconfronta reality theywereunfamiliarwith (Lamarre,2013).
