A Brief Summary of My Presentation:

The presentation on E.D. Hirsch, Jr. titled Literacy and Cultural Literacy dealt

with the crisis in the educational system in the United States. Cultural literacy of

American students is declining compared to other nations. The school systems within this

nation are not teaching students the core information which they are lacking an

understanding of. Schools are instead overloading students with too many options in the

curricula that no two students attending the same high school, for example, could be

taking completely different courses. There is no common curriculum that all students are

required to take which would help ensure that all students have a core background of

information. In order for schools in the United States to improve its standard of education

schools need to establish a core information which all students need to have. If students

have not learned and mastered basic knowledge then it is difficult to understand more

complex material.

Additional Resources on Henry Giroux and Critical Pedagogy

The following websites provide good overviews of the tenets of critical pedagogy and describe the life and work of Henry Giroux:

• http://www.henryagiroux.com/ [See this site for a list of Giroux's many publications and links to his online articles.]
• http://www.perfectfit.org/CT/giroux1.html [Quotes Giroux on the roles of schools, teachers, and curriculum in critical pedagogy.]
• http://mingo.info-science.uiowa.edu/~stevens/critped/page1.htm

Check out video of an interview with Giroux himself about his thoughts concerning critical pedagogy. This is a six-part YouTube series:

1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvCs6XkT3-o
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HQRPUBsEj0
3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4hS4JPx3KY&feature=related

5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUaKSrvfsGM&feature=related
6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0zc8Upo6ro

In addition to Giroux's books and articles (which are listed in the two websites at top), these are some interesting books on critical pedagogy of special interest to teachers:

• Duncan-Andrade, J., & Morrell, E. (2008). The art of critical pedagogy: Possibilities for moving from theory to practice in urban schools. New York: Peter Lang. [A good resource for those in our class who plan to teach in New York City and want to be practitioners of critical pedagogy in an urban setting.]
• McLaren, P., & Kincheloe, J. L. (Eds.). (2007). Critical pedagogy: Where are we now? New York: Peter Lang. [This book discusses implications for critical pedagogy in the twenty-first century amidst technology and accountability.]

For all my math teachers out there, here is a research article (in PDF format) that discusses the use of critical pedagogy to develop "mathematics for social justice":

• http://math.unipa.it/~grim/21_project/21_charlotte_StinsonPaperEdit.pdf

Food for Thought:

• Is No Child Left Behind the antithesis of critical pedagogy? See what Giroux has to say at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgdVCnTTqXA
• Does Disney impede the empowerment of some children? If so, perhaps Disney should be kept out of the classroom. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byaMd_PNyIY
