  5. Manifest Destiny “Progress” is not always good for all—some pay the price for others’ progress

  6. Delpit’s Culture of Power (1993) Issues of power are enacted in classrooms; There are codes or rules for participating in power; that is, there is a “culture of power”; The rules of the culture of power are a reflection of the rules of the culture of those who have power; If you are not already a participant in the culture of power, being told explicitly the rules of that culture makes acquiring power easier; and Those with power are frequently least aware of—or least willing to acknowledge—its existence. Those with less power are often most aware of its existence.

  11. Oral Traditionas “text” for teachersA People’s history, identity, ways of being and future directions are anchored in the stories of that community. Our theories and knowledge—our curriculum & pedagogy—are within the stories.

  12. Community Cultural WealthTara Yosso, 2005, p. 77 [A]n array of knowledge, skills, abilities and contacts possessed and utilized by Communities of Color to survive and resist macro and micro-forms of oppression.

  13. We must enlist community definitions and concepts into our teaching, because the concepts and definitions utilized by westernized educational institutions do not always reflect how communities conceptualize ways of knowing, being, or doing things.

  14. Funds of KnowledgeMoll, Amanti, Neff & Gonzalez,1992, p. 133 [H]istorically accumulated and culturally developed bodies of knowledge and skills essential for household or individual functioning and well-being.

  15. It is imperative that we work with respect, with responsiveness, and in relationship to bring humanity back into education, so students can achieve and contribute the gifts that they have.

  16. As teachers we have to think of students’ futures as being linked to our own futures, their well being has an impact on our own well-being. They are our children.

  17. Our culturally responsive practice must be a practice of knowing the communities from where our students come from. Not knowing in terms of only location, but knowing the values, beliefs and knowledgesof the communities.
