I would like to discuss with a colleague the following quote “Deficit theories assume that some children, because of genetic, cultural, or experiential differences, are inferior to other children--that is they have deficits that must be overcome if they are to learn.” I feel like it is obvious that experiential differences (e.g. Being raised in a home where reading occurred each day) would cause deficits to overcome. Unless the authors were simply trying to express that  regardless of genetics, culture, and experience all students should be valued the same, that I fully agree with.

We shouldn't shy away from current issues with diversity, politics, and immigration. But reference them as this is what we are and where we can go to increase our inclusion of the diversity.

I was intrigued by how they decided what to call people. It seemed like there two criteria could be in conflict. What people want to be called vs what is accurate.

When reading the chapter, I am not sure if there is anything I learned to share with a colleague but one thing I am trying to internalize from the is reading is to be more empathic towards students more and try and make sure they see that I care about their progress and to have patience with them and figure out ways to help them understand on their level why what I am teaching them is important.

Bias is universal because no one can experience everything. What is important is being understanding, patient, and aware that you don't know everything.

There is a difference between standard driven and standard conscious. Standards should be used as a tool to create the right opportunities to make all students well rounded and become critical thinkers.

The importance of adding information regarding equity and inclusiveness even though not mentioned in CCS could be beneficial to multiculturalism. Equality VS Equity are not often well understood.

To be aware of the bias that is there, just because I may not experience what another is going through (at their home, in their world) doesn't mean I cannot understand and try to be a part of the solution rather than the problem
