“Culture Killing - The Death of Marginalized Cultures in Educational Curriculum (Instructional series)
Mike Brown, Chief Schools Officer, and Sundiata Salaam, Chief People Officer at the Freedom Prep Academy Charter Schools
Molefe Kete Asante laments the fact that “an African-American or Hispanic person [student]-in order to master the white cultural information-has had to experience the death of his or her own culture”. And on our best day, we as educators are often unknowing participants in that cultural death as we stand in front of students to teach what we ourselves were once taught…but no more. Through virtual partner activities, independent reflection, and critical group discussion spanning all core subjects, teachers in this session will learn to highlight student culture in daily lessons and create culturally empowering moments that students will never forget.
