This assignment must be completed no later than 11:59:59 p.m. (EST) on Monday, November 9, 2020. You are to focus on this week’s materials concerning Johnathan Kozol’s Savage Inequalities, and the three videos I downloaded to Moodlerooms.
1. You must provide a summary of the lecture materials. What was Kozol’s main argument concerning the nature of education in the U.S? Additionally, you must provide a short summary of ALL three videos. (5 points)
2. (Regarding Kozol & video C) Race or Class, which variable has the greatest impact in terms of determining the type of education an individual will receive, explain? Be sure to support your essay with evidence (10 points)
A. Many individuals identify the idea of producing a “culturally competent curriculum,” as being key in determining how well students will perform in school. In simple terms, “cultural competence” defines an academic curriculum that speaks to, and integrates, the lived experiences of the student body into a comprehensive, logical, pedagogy that allows students to see themselves, their own worldview and cultural knowledge, as an important part of the academic experience. Some individuals have even gone as far as to state that cultural competence can be only achieved through segregation (Black men teaching Black boys, Christian Women teaching Christian girls, etc.,). Some research has even indicated that schools created for a specific, segregated population are actually more successful than those where all groups are able to attend.
1. What is your own analysis of the importance of cultural competency in terms of education, explain? Is segregation along the lines of race, religion, sex, etc., a logical pathway to the creation of successful schools, explain why or why not (provide evidence)? Please note that you must support your entire essay with academic sources. Your opinion, while fine, needs to be supported with evidence. (25 points)
Video A talked about the ideas of cultural incapacity and cultural blindness. Critical theorists suggest that schools perpetuate cultural violence against students that are not members of the dominant group (race, sex, religion, etc.,). Video B (children talked about segregation) illustrates how aware children are of racial difference (and what those differences mean in society).
2. Could segregated schools be used to end the cultural violence some students are forced to endure, explain? As video C suggests, schools are already segregated… if they deliberately worked to embrace culturally competent teaching methods, taught by people of the same race, sex, religion, etc., of the student body, might this be a way of ending the cultural violence some students endure in schools, why/why not, explain? What does it mean for children to learn about the importance of Columbus Day, for example, if they are members of the groups that Columbus caused unjust harm to befall? How might this make a child view their own sense of security, importance, and value (Looking Glass Self), for example, explain? Would intentionally segregated schools, with segregated teachers, help to eliminate this issue/produce successful schools (20 points)?
Again, you are to create an essay in support of (or against segregated schools). Be sure to use the information provided. You are to specifically address the videos, lecture materials, and required reading. The questions are asking you about the production of a successful school and eliminating cultural violence, be sure to address these issues.
Because of the length of the assignment, required readings, and videos, this assignment is not due until Monday, November 9, 2020.
These are the 3 videos we need to watch, the assignments are based off these videos and the required reading.
