Study Notes

Critical Race Theory in Education

  • Critical Race Theory (CRT) challenges traditional views of cultural capital, shifting the focus from a deficit view of marginalized communities to recognizing and learning from their diverse cultural strengths.

  • Cultural wealth encompasses various forms of capital, including aspirational, navigational, social, linguistic, familial, and resistant capital.

  • These forms of capital are brought into the classroom by Students of Color, and are vital for their success and learning in schools.

  • CRT argues against a deficit model that assumes Students of Color lack the social and cultural capital necessary for success and instead emphasizes acknowledging their strengths and experiences.

Community Cultural Wealth

  • Community cultural wealth is the collective knowledge, skills, abilities, and resources that communities of color possess as strengths, drawing on experiences from home.

  • It includes several types of capital, all representing valuable assets for students:

  • Aspirational capital (holding onto hope despite adversity)

  • Linguistic capital (bilingualism, diverse communication styles)

  • Familial capital (kinship and community support)

  • Navigational capital (ability to navigate social institutions)

  • Social capital (networks and relationships)

  • Resistant capital (strategies for challenging oppression).

  • Recognizing and valuing community cultural wealth is essential for schools and educators to support the success of Students of Color.

CRT's Tenets in Education

  • CRT challenges deficit thinking and White dominance in education.

  • CRT emphasizes the intercentricity of race and racism alongside other forms of discrimination, acknowledging the interconnectivity of multiple forms of subordination.

  • The commitment to social justice is central to CRT, aiming to dismantle systems of oppression and promote equity.

  • Experiential knowledge and the lived experiences of communities of color are valued and central to understanding power relations and social justice issues.

  • A transdisciplinary approach is encouraged to analyze racial injustice in education.
