Reflecting on Ethics, Power, and Privilege.

Townsend, Brenda L.; Patton, James M.

Teacher Education and Special Education, v23 n1 p32-33 Win 2000

This article reflects on previous articles (EC 624 620-621) that explore how pre-existing structures within the educational system impede the academic achievement of many African-American learners. It urges more educators to be willing to critique school practices and to seek understanding of African American culture in order to alter teacher, administrator, and counselor practices.
