Question

Can you please give me some key take away from this article?

Colorblindness can be problematic because "color blindness may result in refusing to accept differences and therefore accepting the dominant culture as the norm" The only way I feel that colorblindness may benefit some students is because they are all seen as equal, but it can be a disadvantage for some because teachers struggle to see them for who they really are. "If used to mean nondiscriminatory in attitude and behavior, color blindness is not a bad thing"

"First, it means acknowledging the differences that children bring to school. The refusal to acknowledge differences could result in making students invisible.

Second, it means admitting to the possibility that students' identities may influence how they experience school and how they learn.

Third, accepting differences also means making provisions for them. This approach is based on the best of educational theory: that individual differences must be taken into account in teaching and that education must begin where children are at"

When culture is treated like a process there isn't much room for individualization. The same performance measures apply to all students. When culture is treated like a process students are subjects of their own learning. They are able to learn about that culture and make sense of it
