So you know how at the beginning of the semester Rosa posed the question ‘How do you measure radical care?’ and I was feeling spicy and responded ‘Should we???’? Remember that? Okay well I am about to be the […]
This weeks’ materials were very validating for me because I have been skeptical of integration for quite some time. I don’t trust it. At least not at face value. It has to prove itself more if I am going to trust […]
This week’s readings were a great reminder that when it comes to radical care, it is not enough to simply have high expectations for students and help them develop their critical consciousnesses. It is also […]
I appreciate your referencing the masters’ tools here. I definitely agree with that comparison. And I had similar feelings about wondering if I was getting caught up in semantics in my […]
Y’all might need to take my cool-cat-education-researcher card for today’s take. But I have never been a big fan of the theory of community cultural wealth. I know all the CRT education people love it, but there […]
Hey Jane! I also loved the reciprocity so clearly present in this article. I think it is something we should all strive for in our research (even when it’s quantitative). If I read correctly, it seems that Rosa’s […]
Can the critical caring energies of a principal alone be enough to make a whole school a critical caring environment? This is what I am thinking about after reading about Principal Johnson. It is clear that he […]
I also sent an email about this, so you can ignore this if you saw that. If everyone could fill out this form before class, that would be great! It asks about which readings you completed and […]
Your post was very helpful to read, Lindsay! I think that a major reason why we always put the burden on schools to fix our social ills is because our schools have been so deeply de-politicized. All the other […]
This week’s reading from Freire and the other works building on his writing did a great job articulating the deeply political nature of teaching. This holds true whether the educator is purposefully trying to be […]
Oh my gosh I am so glad you threw some shade at that “rescuing” comment from the Bass reading. I thought that was so weird!! For me, radical/critical caring is about fighting to dismantle the systems that cause […]
This week’s readings have me thinking about the exceptionally holistic caring that Black women educators can enact. It seems like the women we read about this week take holistic to another level. It’s not just […]
I am also tired. It absolutely sucks to read stuff from 25 years ago and feel like it’s something that needs to be made into a twitter thread for the world to see.
To start, I just have a fun anecdote that relates to some of the things Dr. Ladson-Billings mentioned in the video. It’s not super related, so you can ignore it if you want. So when I was a kid, my family’s […]
