Academic Excellence and Anti-Racism

Equity and Literacy: The Challenge of a Decade
By Enid Lee

 I would like to spend some time today linking two important concepts - equity and literacy. At one time in my life, I taught people to read. I will include some of the experiences from that era as we turn our attention to the vision of education we need to have if every youngster is to succeed academically and is to be equipped to transform the society for greater justice. Essential to that vision of education are the pillars of equity and literacy.

Looking Through an Anti-Racist Lens
By Enid Lee

When examining cases of racism and inequity in schools, we often explain them in terms of lack of individual effort, bad luck, human nature or the inevitability of inequality. These explanations are not grounded in a social understanding of events and processes. In contrast, viewing the same cases through an anti-racist lens allows us to see how the use of power by individuals, communities and institutions has brought about the current situation. We can see how power is used to make change or to keep things the way they are, particularly with regard to the issues of rights, respect, resources, and representation based on skin color. An anti-racist lens leads us to look at the historical roots for both explanations and solutions. (click here or on title for more)
