1. At this moment in time my question has become: how can I make students who are alienated from school due to a feeling of injustice take ownership of their education and relationship to learning and develop resiliency.

2. Being as specific as I can be right now, what I want students to be able to learn is name/identify the process they encounter that makes them feel alienated as well as their strategy for coping/surviving/resisting.

3. I would know my students are accomplishing these goals if I saw them or heard them correctly identifying racism/oppression and responding effectively to it.

4. I can collect information about them doing these things through interviews, surveys, academic progress, discipline data, teacher reflections.
