3 posts this week:

In one of your posts, think about your personal assets and the extent to which they align or do not align with social norms.

In the other two posts, discuss the concept of asset-based teaching.

What does it mean to educate children to live in a pluralistic democratic society? To answer this question we must ask:

1. How do social norms and political climates impact individual choices, access, or opportunities in school?
2. How does an historical understanding of schooling create tensions for moral aspects of schooling today?
3. How can we a) develop cultural competence (raise awareness) about the oppressive aspects of schooling while b) learning to navigate anti-oppressive education?
