SHARING
CRT & COMMUNITY CULTURAL CAPITAL
Challenges the deficit idea that minority students and families are at fault for poor academic performance because of lack of normative cultural knowledge and skills or that parents don’t value education.
OVERVIEW OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY
CRT theorizes and challenges the ways race and racism impact society Intercentricity of race/racism Challenges dominant ideology, white privilege, race neutrality
Commitment to social justice Centrality of lived experience Interdisciplinary
Racism disguised in normative values Schools simultaneously oppress/marginalize, but hold power to emancipate
OVERVIEW OF COMMUNITY CULTURAL CAPITAL
Capital: What people haveEconomic (money)Social (who you know)Cultural (what you know)Assumes that if you don’t have it, you are deficient and need to be fixed.
Think about McDermott & Varenne’s message

Contents of Paper See Syllabus Use the class texts to help you think about what is happening in the district/community/school Morrison taught us the assumptions WE make Bronfenbrenner provided a tool for thinking about how the individual is related to the family, school, community, and culture
The podcasts and website demonstrated how race is socially constructed, but has very real societal impact.
McDermott & Varenne explain how difference and disabilities are constructed are an artifact of culture rather than existing outside of culture.
Yosso discussed the wealth of knowledge families have so that we can resist the deficit model.
Sleeter helps us understand how privilege gets in the way of understanding issues
