Educational equity / by Eboch, M. M.Editor(DLC)n 2008053092;

Includes bibliographical references and index.How does educational equity impact society? -- How does gender impact educational opportunities? -- How does racial discrimination lead to inequities in education? -- How does socioeconomic status lead to differences in learning? -- How can educational equity be achieved? -- For further discussion -- Organizations to contact.If children are the future, the importance of educating them cannot be overvalued. Why, then, is access to quality education in the US consistently under debate? The US is known as the Land of Opportunity, but the truth is that many children are unable to meet their potential simply because of educational inequities. The viewpoints in this resource examine the difference between equality and equitability; issues such as funding disparities, impacts of gender, race, and socioeconomic status, and lack of resources; and what can be done to ensure that every student has a chance to succeed, regardless of their background.

From the New Deal to the war on schools : race, inequality, and the rise of the punitive education state / by Moak, Daniel S.,author.;

You are not a kinesthetic learner : the troubled history of the learning style idea / by Fallace, Thomas D.(Thomas Daniel),author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: The learning style idea -- Sensory channels and personality types -- Diagnosing learning styles -- The rise and fall of the Black learning style idea -- Multiple intelligences as learning styles -- The kinesthetic learner as identity -- The peak years -- Debunking the myth of learning styles -- Conclusion."The notion that we all process information in one of three distinct modes-visual, auditory, or kinesthetic-is familiar to all of us; indeed, it has shaped teaching practices for decades. It may be surprising, then, to learn that the notion of learning styles is in fact widely debunked. So why does it retain such a powerful hold on us? In this book, historian Thomas Fallace traces the origins, evolution, and history of the controversial learning style idea. He shows that the research supporting the learning style idea was problematic from its inception in the 1910s as a strategy for teaching students in remedial reading classes. Decades later, as the Civil Rights movement demanded government solutions to racial inequality, scholars of education began to look for tools to address discrepancies in schooling outcomes between white children and children of color. Cultural differences perceived as deficits in Black and Brown children were taken to justify teaching with a different learning style requiring a distinct approach. In the 1980s, many scholars and educators determined that students of color were 'kinesthetic' learners, an idea used to label and justify a diminished curriculum for Black and Latinx students. In our era of high-stakes testing, administrators and teachers have eagerly embraced learning styles as a common-sense approach that seemed to promise positive outcomes. However, research increasingly shows that empirical studies do not find the approach effective. Rather than labeling students as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners (along with the hidden value judgments in each category), teachers ought to be labeling activities and then using the most appropriate method for the content or topic at hand. Ultimately, Fallace issues a full-throated call for the end of learning styles as the basis for an instructional tool kit. The danger of the learning style idea lies in the act of sorting and labeling students with permanent style identities"--

Schooling citizens : the struggle for African American education in antebellum America / by Moss, Hilary J.(CARDINAL)304274;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Education's inequity: New Haven, Connecticut -- The emergence of white opposition to African American education -- Interracial activism and African American higher education -- Education's enclave: Baltimore, Maryland -- Race, labor, and literacy in a slaveholding city -- African American educational activism under the shadow of slavery -- Education's divide: Boston, Massachusetts -- Race, space, and educational opportunity -- Common schools, revolutionary memory, and the crisis of black citizenship in the mid-nineteenth century.While white residents of antebellum Boston and New Haven forcefully opposed the education of black residents, their counterparts in slaveholding Baltimore did little to resist the establishment of African American schools. Such discrepancies, Hilary Moss argues, suggest that white opposition to black education was not a foregone conclusion. Through the comparative lenses of these three cities, she shows why opposition erupted where it did across the United States during the same period that gave rise to public education. As common schooling emerged in the 1830s, providing white children of all classes and ethnicities with the opportunity to become full-fledged citizens, it redefined citizenship as synonymous with whiteness. This link between school and American identity, Moss argues, increased white hostility to black education at the same time that it spurred African Americans to demand public schooling as a means of securing status as full and equal members of society. Shedding new light on the efforts of black Americans to learn independently in the face of white attempts to withhold opportunity, Schooling Citizens narrates a previously untold chapter in the thorny history of America's educational inequality.

Original sins [Large print] : the (mis)education of Black and native children and the construction of American racism / by Ewing, Eve L.,author.(CARDINAL)676085;

Includes bibliographical references (pages [427]-513) and index.What are schools for? Jefferson's ghost -- Making citizens: schools for White people -- Saviorism and social control: schools for Black people -- Disappearance by design: schools for Native people -- Defective strains. The gospel of intellectual inferiority -- A nation for the fittest: endless measurement and the architects of progress -- Whose knowledge? -- Hands clasped. Carceral logics -- To resist is to be criminal -- Absolute obedience and perfect submission -- Somebody's got to mow the lawn. A crooked playing field -- Slavery, settler colonialism, and American wealth -- A place to learn your place: education and racial capitalism -- Conclusion: Strands together: imagination, liberation, and braiding."American public schools have been called "the great equalizer." If all children could just get an education, the logic goes, they would have the same opportunities later in life. But this historical tour-de-force makes it clear that the opposite is true: the educational system has played an instrumental role in creating racial hierarchies, preparing children to expect unequal treatment throughout their lives. In Original Sins, Ewing demonstrates that schools were designed to propagate the idea of white intellectual superiority, to "civilize" Native students and to prepare Black students for menial labor. Schools were not an afterthought for the "founding fathers"; they were envisioned by Thomas Jefferson to fortify the country's racial hierarchy. And while those dynamics are less overt now than they were in centuries past, Ewing shows that they persist in a curriculum that continues to minimize the horrors of American history. Ewing argues that the most insidious aspects of the system are under the radar: standardized testing, tracking, school discipline, and access to resources. By demonstrating that it's in the DNA of American schools to serve as an effective, and under-acknowledged, mechanism maintaining inequality in this country today, Ewing makes the case that there should be a profound re-evaluation of what schools are supposed to do, and for whom. This book will change the way people understand the place they send their children for eight hours a day"--
