Terms to Consider 2: Equity

Much of what we will read together and separately this semester addresses issues of equity in education on a broad scale and in the classroom on a small scale. What does this term, equity, mean to you?

Term to Consider: In Turmoil

Alfred Tatum, author of the text we will be reading, uses the term Black Males in Turmoil to refer to the specific type of student he is referencing. What does this term mean to you? How would you define a student who is in turmoil vs. a student who is not?

Welcome

Thank you for spending your very valuable time with us this semester, participating in some thinking, reading, viewing, and responding about your own work with African American male students in the classroom.

I eagerly anticipate our time together and invite you to share something here already in answer to this question:

Why have you chosen to join this group and what do you hope to gain from our time together?

I look forward to reading what you have to say!
