I found it interesting that the article discussed, "who is writing the pacing guides, curriculums, state assessments, etc." I have thought about this many times.  This makes a difference in the way we teach our students.  I also read about how the military has to pay millions of dollars to teach people basic skills.  This means that they are missing a huge component in the educational system.  Even here  in New Haven, we are constantly changing curriculums and constantly trying new things.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.  It is important, as stated in the article, that students need the skills to access the knowledge learned

Cultivating Criticality is about teaching our students to question what is being read and taught critically.

Identity is fluid.  It is 'who you are, what others say you are, and who you want to be.'  Teachers must be careful not to stamp an identity on students or students will not grow to learn about themselves or other diverse people around them.
Teachers want students to gain confidence in using their learning about themselves and others to thrive.  Therefore it is imperative that students see themselves in the curriculum as well as have the opportunity to make meaning of what they are learning within the context of their identity.

students have the potential for success when they see themselves in the curriculum.

Intellect is the ability to expand thinking beyond the basics, to develop critical thinking skills and learning beyond the classroom to the greater concerns of nation and globe. To do that students need to have a greater stake in education, moving beyond proscribed curriculum and feeling like a valued member of the classroom community.

Pursuit: Skills are central to the ways in which we do school today and typically define achievements standards. Also help desing learning standards that govern teaching and learning at schools and each content area.

Skills are measured using quantitative high stakes assessments. Skills are the central ways in which we do school today. Typically, they define achievement. Skills also help in designing learning standards and each content area has its own set of skills. There is a very high focus on skills in the classroom. This puts other important things such as identity, anti-racisms, criticality, and more on the back burner.

Pursuit:

Skills should never be privileged over other goals or taught alone. They must be taught alongside other pursuits. Teachers must be experts in their disciplines and see their content area in different situations and aspects of life. Students need skills to access the knowledge learned.

How to implement:

·  Must be taught alongside other pursuits.

·  Teachers must be experts otherwise students could do poorly in the classroom.

·   Exercise to improve capabilities of the mind.
