Notes
Lesson preparation

1. 1. Culturally Responsive Education in the Classroom, p. 70.

2. 2. Ibid., p. 66.

4. 4. The Invisible Gorilla, p. 17.

5. 5. Micheline T. H. Chi, Paul J. Feltovich, and Robert Glaser, “Categorization and Representation Physics Problems by Experts and Novices,” Cognitive Science: A Multidisciplinary Journal (April 1981). The implication of the article for teachers is discussed in Carl Hendrick and Paul Kirschner's excellent How Learning Happens: Seminal Works in Educational Psychology and What They Mean in Practice.

6. 6. Ellis Cose, The Envy of the World: On Being a Black Man in America (2002), p. 69.

7. 7. Tatum discusses Cose in Teaching Reading to Black Adolescent Males (2005), p. 13.

8. 8.

It most certainly isn't that in most U.S. schools I've been to.
