| Description | As a teacher develops a sense of identity and comes of age among students, students themselves come of age in their teacher's presence during that identity formation. A teacher's identity can impact students in varied ways, including the study of literature. For young people, our schools can be places filled with joy and tenderness or, for our most vulnerable learners, fraught with fear and tribulation; “to be noticed,” as Greene (2000) reminds us, supports self-awareness and growth in both students and teachers. Recent ethnographic research studies on children's coming of age reveal some of the most supportive, as well as difficult, schooling and residential environments (Jiménez, 2008; Kirkland, 2014; López & López, 2010; Vilson, 2014). Literary criticism on traumatic experience and familiar affinities reveals testimonies of struggle, perseverance and survival in the African American literary canon, among others (Griffiths, 2010; Morris, 2014; Royster, 2000).
