My inquiry question is:

 What does institutionalized racism look like from a student’s perspective?

The learning goal for my students is:

 I hope that my students develop effective strategies for coping with injustice (racism).

Indicators for success:

Any one of the following things would indicate success.

Students will use language that reflects an understanding of racism as a historical and social force. They will identify support mechanisms.  Can communicate realistic ways of holding people or systems accountable.

Focal students:

I have students in mind- Sam, Saul, but I am not sure yet.

Routine data source:

I will continue to give student surveys every month.

Other data sources:

Student interviews, grades, discipline record
