“The messages children internalize because of grouping practices are probably more destructive than we realize”

Tracking, or grouping students together based on abilities, is not as effective as most people think.

Chapter 4 was the most poignant for me.  Being new to education, I have not ever considered how tracking leads to segregation, but looking back on my experience as a parent with my own children, I can absolutely see concrete examples of how that has happened right in my own neighborhood schools.  I want to share with my administration and other decision makers at my school information about how dividing kids up based on perceived “ability” from a standardized test is hurting more kids than it is helping.

I would share Rosenthal and Jacobson’s 1968 study on expectations in which teachers were given random lists of 1st - 6th grade students which the researchers claimed were “intellectual bloomers”, and teachers were told to be on the alert for signs of intellectual growth.  These children showed considerably greater gains in IQ during the school year than did the other students.

Not sure why the text called this method of research "controversial". Maybe that's just the data scientist in my background, but it seems a great study scenario of what expectations can achieve.

I liked reading chapter three when they were talking about their memories of elementary school. I liked reading from a students' point of view and would like to focus conversations about problem behaviors from how it affects teachers and the classroom to how the student is feeling or reacting to.

Curriculum should not be viewed as monolithic or set in stone. It itself isn't above scrutiny and reevaluation

There was a middle school class that helped schools in their district. “A Proposal to Eliminate Native American Mascots.”  We need to be careful that we are not taking advantage of those who are underprivileged for any reason.

Educators need to start focusing on differences and similarities at a young age (preschool age) as apart of the curriculum. As a first grade teacher, I feel like it is an important part of the curriculum, and something that should be taught year after year.

There was one section that talked about self fulfilling prophecy. This was so interesting to me! We need to be positive and optimistic about students achievement. If we do not think they can do it, often they will make that happen. If we believe in them, they will make that happen as well!

"A teacher needs to let you know that they expect a lot. It makes you work harder."

Multicultural curriculum does not equate to multicultural education. This seems to be a consistent theme in this class, but it really stood out to me in these chapters in particular. Just having multicultural lessons is not enough--multicultural education needs to a permeate your school culture.

I loved when it talked about incorporating the community and other cultures into our classroom and getting away from "traditional" curriculum

We can improve the classroom environment by including the students in the democracy of the classroom.

The idea of “colormuteness” or the uneasiness with directly addressing issues of race. This gives a word for something I’ve felt but not known how to express.

Class size isn’t the most important factor in influencing student engagement in learning, we need a positive climate and relationships between students and teachers to make change

I was very interested to learn about the affects of tracking.
There was a quote that really struck me that talked about how a high school student may think they have more choices with what classes they take, however, that choose could have already been made for them by the first teacher who placed them.
