Abstract

This review assesses Stephanie Oudghiri’s (2022) Struggling to Find Our Way: Rural Educators’ Experiences Working with and Caring for Latinx Students. Positioning her work in care and culturally responsive teaching, Oudghiri narratively examines the relationship between teachers, paraprofessionals, and Latinx students in a rural Midwestern elementary school. Story themes, analyzed under a framework of Swanson’s (1991, 1993) middle range theory of caring, uncover how educators’ personal and professional identities inform their ethics of care, or lack thereof, in the classroom. This review outlines Oudghiri’s successful use of narrative inquiry to craft an accessible, hopeful story that rural educators nationwide can learn from in order to better support their culturally diverse students.
