This image was one of my favorites that I found. It shows a group of diverse students learning together. You could only imagine the conversations they would be having sitting around this globe. This leads to more education that reading about world history. Each student comes from a different back ground, and having them face to face is the only way to truly educate a child about a different cultures. In this environment they will learn more than a text book. Some text books may not see one's history, culture or background. Another's history and culture may be distorted by text books. This may bring up sensitive topics but will open a child's mind to speaking about culture, which is something we lack in classrooms.

Teachers are looking for new ways to improve academic performance of students. The teachers who are doing so are the ones who are trying knew things and " taking the road less traveled". Even though these roads may be more difficult, without trying knew methods of education there is no way of finding out if they are effective or not.

"Poor economic and social conditions have traditionally promoted African Americans to look to education, in the form of integrating schools, as the most likely escape route to the American dream."I wanted to have an iconic image for an important moment in history. We must ask ourselves where we would be without Brown vs. The board of education?  The dream keepers really puts a spin on this landmark, really making you think about the truth in our countries development at this stage.

The first Chapter describes three methods of action. remediation or acceleration in the basic skills, re-socializing children's views as outside the mainstream and to inculcate in them mainstream perceptions and behaviors, and attempt to capitalize on students' individual, group, and cultural differences. All of these programs differ vastly yet still take action into addressing issues. These methods were catalyst in taking action in the classroom, even if they were effective or not.  Educators must keep an open mind to other methods while still educating themselves.

The first chapter raises questions about teacher preparation. this image represents the effect that education has on young students. As educators we should provide equal opportunities no matter the harsh social and economic realities that African American children face. This image I believe shows the innocence of a young student who may only have his dreams to look forward to, while he carries his teacher guidance and knowledge in his backpack. We must keep the dream alive !
