We would like to thank you for joining us on this venture. Here are the discussion questions for Chapter 1. Please feel free to post your thoughts.
1. Why do you feel Dr. Ladson-Billings felt it necessary to entitle the Chapter – A dream Deferred? Give evidence to support.
2. Interpret the 5 vignettes used in the chapter to address cultural relevant teaching.
3. What are differences between educating whites versus educating blacks. In order for our students to receive a quality education, do they need to attend private schools? Why or why not?
4. How are teaching practices (how we teach/ the way we teach) different from curriculum (what we teach)? Is having a new curriculum going to improve teaching and learning practices? Why/why not?
5. What can teachers take from this chapter, to take steps to empower themselves and make a difference in their classrooms?
Here you go- post your thoughts, we can't wait to see what your groups have discussed.
