The research done by Maria C. Ledesma and Dolores Calderon researched the development of Critical Race Theory in education paying attention to how researchers viewed the CRT literature with a focus on the engagement and work it delivered against racism within education. The article highlights the many cases in which CRT works to not just pointing to race in education, but to engage students with material, structural, and ideological mechanisms to avoid wihte supremacy in education.

Jessica T. DeCuir and Adrienne D. Dixon in the “Educational Research” Volume 33. This writing specifically talks about the use of critical race theory as a tool of analysis of race and racism in education. The reading also included narratives from students who first-hand experienced such teaching skills and how it positively impacted them towards creating a more welcoming environment for all races as opposed to extremism and hostility.

Lastly, we would like to introduce the writing from Daria Roithmayr called “Introduction to Critical Race Theory in Educational Research and Praxis”. This reading specifically talks about the use of CRT in education and how the structure of its education-knowledge system helps police the racial boundaries of white supremacy, which is what our team is trying to prevent, and racism.

Create a scale in the wall that goes from 1 (not a lot) to 10 (very much). Say a prompt and ask participants to place themselves on the scale based on the prompt. Start with light prompts such as "how adult are you?". After everybody has placed themselves, ask participants to share why they placed themselves where they are at. Prompts should escalate after every round and should be based on the discussion topic. At the end, ask everybody to debrief.
