=Welcome to the Critical Educators for Equity's Wiki!= toc

Definition and Mission Statement
We hope to be able to achieve equitable educational understandings for educators and equitable educational opportunities for PreK-12 students through **critical pedagogy**.


 * Critical pedagogy** has the potential to provide educators with the theoretical knowledge they can translate to practices that promote anti-oppressive (Kumashiro, 2000), democratic, socially just, and equitable education.


 * Critical pedagogy** unmasks and interrogates the dominant ideology that thrives on the existence of and tension between the oppressor and the oppressed (Freire, 1998). It “expos[es] student sorting processes and power involvement with curriculum, [and] helps students and teachers understand how schools work” (Kincheloe, 1999, p. 72) so that they may participate in the dismantling of hegemonic practices in which they naively participate.
