The future of teaching will increasingly rely on overseas-trained teachers (OTTs) to address teacher shortages. While research on OTTs in the United States is expanding, studies focusing on Afro-Caribbean teachers are emerging. Despite the growing call for more teachers of color, Afro-Caribbean OTTs’ contributions are often overlooked due to their immigrant status. We propose the concepts of “radical transparency” and “fugitive care” to articulate how these teachers’ classroom practices offer alternative possibilities for schooling, making the learning process both explicit and equitable for all students. Drawing on a Transnational Black Feminist Framework (TBF), we highlight the unique politics of care practiced by these teachers, revealing gaps in our cultural understanding and underscoring their vital, yet understudied, contributions to education.

逃亡者照顾：加勒比非洲裔女教师制定的照顾政治


未来的教学将越来越依赖海外培训的教师（OTT）来解决教师短缺问题。虽然美国对 OTT 的研究不断扩大，但针对加勒比非洲裔教师的研究也正在兴起。尽管越来越多的人呼吁增加有色人种教师，但非裔加勒比人 OTT 的贡献往往因其移民身份而被忽视。我们提出“彻底透明”和“逃犯关怀”的概念，以阐明这些教师的课堂实践如何为学校教育提供替代可能性，使学习过程对所有学生来说既明确又公平。借鉴跨国黑人女权主义框架（TBF），我们强调了这些教师所实践的独特的关怀政治，揭示了我们文化理解上的差距，并强调了他们对教育的重要但尚未得到充分研究的贡献。
