Describe how educational policies of the 20th century attempted to force racial/ethnic groups to assimilate into "American" culture. Do you think any of these policies are still being used in the U.S. today? Why or why not? Explain the educational achievement gap and discuss how social and cultural capital play a role in K-12 education. Explain the concept of "stereotyped threat" - do you believe that the power of "positive" or "negative" thinking really does affect students (regardless of whether they are in K-12 or college)? Why or why not? (Chapter 7)
