Criticality will enable our students to have an understanding of the forces that are in play in a given situation. This means that not only can they think critically and logically about their challenges, but have an understanding of the power structures that we all inhabit and how those power structures affect them in a given situation. -Zully

I feel that I ultimately want our students to go beyond understanding Criticality, but instead embrace/use/and act on it... I think it takes something more than just lacing our curriculum with opportunities for Critical thinking...It takes the right kind of spark to ignite young people to go beyond just understanding...sometimes this can come in the form of the right teacher, and so I wonder where there is space for us to think critically about who and how we deliver this kind of curriculum.

I am very interested in the way power is shared/distributed/taught in a math classroom where the content is exclusively focused on numbers and abstractions. I want to understand better how students perceive the power distribution in the room, and how they see themselves and how to help them understand math and math class as an object lesson in how to access, confront and share power. -Dan

Criticality will prepare some youth to interpret the world, while preparing other youth to change the world, I hope, in the best and positive ways aimed against inequality in its various forms.

Critical Thinking + Agency = Criticality? maybe...
I feel we address the issue of power ...but how to bring in equity and anti-oppression when looking at the past Im not sure what that looks like-is it looking at how people used their agency back then?

I want our students to be the change makers, not the people who change happens to, but I also want them to be thoughtful and incisive change makers, not being swayed by charisma or shallow ideas.

From Teaching Toward Genius - Criticality is the capacity and ability to read, write, think, and speak in ways to understand power and equity in order to understand and promote anti-oppression. In Cultivating Genius, I (Gholdy) define oppression simply as any wrongdoing, hurt, or harm, including racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, or any other oppression. Unlike lower case “c” critical, which is just deep and analytical thinking, Critical with a capital “c” is related to power, equity, and anti-oppression. As learning takes place, one asks, “How am I developing an understanding of power, equity, anti-racism and anti-oppression?”

When youth have criticality, they are able to see, name and interrogate the world not only to make sense of injustice but also to work towards social transformation.  Thus, students needs spaces to name and critique injustice and ultimately have the agency to build a better world for all.  (Page 120)
