This was honestly the best professional development course I’ve taken–it aligned with my beliefs and I gained insight/practices for my classroom. I only gave it a 4 because some of the statements were unsettling. For example, when Lisa stated that the disproportion in gt identification has more to do with wealth than race…it bothered me that because it’s an apologetic statement. Race and wealth aren’t mutually exclusive. The disproportions prove that. In fact, all of her reasons why also prove that racism exists within the system. These are truths from which educators shouldn’t shy away.
