Notes from Delpit


"My kids know how to be black..."

  • so many codes to teach.
  • finding the time to fit it all in
  • how to push it all in the school day
  • realizing things in the day to day
  • "Manners" -- teaching the expectations in the walls of this classroom
  • being careful not to pose judgement on home communities... AND to teach the culture of power
  • "the World of Mr. Lopez"


Notions of Authority

  • building respect with students (p.36) through language
  • be aware of how your actions/relationship translate in the world



Luxury of Obliviousness (Johnson)

  • Video about obliviousness
  • Culture of power determines curriculum -- Christopher Columbus
  • Founding Fathers (as terrorists?)
  • the Story of the Nacerima
