SCWAAMP	Leslie Grinner argues that there are some categories/identities that are most valued (dominant) in our culture and they are privileged, or given more access and opportunity than other categories/identities that are not valued.  These Most Valued categories are invisible to us unless we “tap the glass” to notice they are there. What kinds of things are valued at your SL site? Any evidence of taps on the glass of dominant ideology?	dominant ideology privilege tap the glass	Johnson talks about same concepts, Delpit’s culture of power	My story is about disability and that is an identity and I think being able to valued and taken for granted in our culture.
Johnson	Allan Johnson argues that it is important to talk explicitly about issues of privilege, power and difference so that we can work towards a more just and respectful world.  Do you see any examples of teachers or students talking explicitly about race, class, gender, sexuality, etc? What kind of outcomes do you witness? Is it productive or confrontational?  Would Johnson celebrate these efforts?	“Say the words” “Luxury of obliviousness”	Delpit (“good intentions are not enough”)	Classrooms need more examples of children with disabilities in order for it to be normalized.
Delpit	Lisa Delpit argues that teachers need to explicitly teach the rules and codes of power to students who might not learn those rules and codes at home.  Have you seen teachers using a direct style? Have you seen teachers working to instruct students about the rules and codes of power? Have you come across “Delpit Moments” where there was a miscommunication that could be related to these issues?	Codes of power	Johnson- teachers need to be active, not just have good intentions	Good intentions are not enough. The teacher’s need to teach about disabilities and how to talk about them.
Kristof	People who grow up with more money have more opportunities in life	Opportunity	Kozol
Kozol	Kozol discusses wealth distribution in the United States and how race plays into it.	Wealth distribution White privilege	Kristof	Your first journal is in this style
McIntosh	McIntosh suggests that white people are taught not to recognize the way their race gets valued in the larger culture.  She says that unless white people actively pay attention to it, whiteness will go unnoticed and unacknowledged. Have you seen whiteness valued at your schools?  Does whiteness show its power in the leadership, curriculum, norms or expectations of the classroom?	White privilege	Johnson
“All Lives Matter”		Black lives matter	SCWAAMP
Rodriguez	Talks about the separation between his “home” language and culture and the language/culture of academia.  He feels he had to leave behind his home language to become fluent and successful in another.	Code switching Bilingual	Garcia
Garcia	Discusses the benefits of translanguaging, where students can use all available linguistic resources to discuss, learn, and understand concepts.	Translanguaging Code switching	Rodriguez
Christensen	Christensen argues that schools need to help students acquire tools to interpret the media and other cultural texts in order to recognize stereotypes and oppression.  Further, she emphasizes that teachers need to help students take action in expression their critiques.  Do you see any of this connection to the “real world” in your SL classroom?  Do students learn to take action and speak out?			A girl called another student the “R-word” in my SL project and Christensen points out that teachers need to take action and a teacher hopefully explained why this word was wrong.
August	August argues that people can’t learn if they don’t feel safe.  Schools need to work to make marginalized students (in her case students who identify as LGBT) feel more “normalized” into the school community.  She suggest we can do this by fighting the tendency to make these students erased, absent and invisible. Do you see these kind of efforts (around gayness or other issues) present in your school?	LGBTQI+ Marginalized		I do not see these effort at my SL placement school

Oakes	Grouping by ability.	Ability Opportunities		My story is about disabilities so I can say hpw Oakes says it is wrong to group by ability because it shows stereotypes about who is better in a certain area of learning.
