User:MedLife4/Internalized racism

In education[edit]
The educational environment students are surrounded in can result in the development of internalized racism. When students from a minority group are placed in a school where the teachers and/or peers are majority white, the lack of diverse representation can produce feelings of inferiority. The perception of the majority group as superior can compel minority students to take on the cultural norms of that group in order to prevent alienation. Furthermore, the predominately white curriculum incorporated into the education system can give minority students the impression that only Eurocentric history is important. This further makes underrepresented students internalize that the history of their origins are insignificant.

Improvements
Racial disparities that are projected onto minority students can lead to a decline in their academic performance that can affect students throughout their academic career.

I have bolded your additions here so it is clear to the reviewer what you plan to add. I do not get a clear impression of how you plan to integrate this with existing content? I would suggest on the next revision, you integrate your improvements with the "In Education" section from the existing article.

Improvements Based on Peer Review
Todd Platts and Kim Hoosier professors of sociology at Piedmont Virginia Community College examined ways to reduce stereotype threats in the classroom. These ways include task reframing, by implementing a change in the grading system, that will keep students anonymous by assigning students a number or a codename, to eliminate known or unknown biases that the instructor might have, positive affirmation, recognizing positive traits students possess to enhance self-worth and ambitions, constructive feedback, by providing feedback in areas that students are struggling in and how they can improve the in those areas. Platts and Hoosier also stated that stereotype threat needs to be faced head on, needs to be discussed early in the semester, along with expectations of the students and the time should be spent reviewing material, that way students known that it is achievable to pass the class.

Summary of Peer Reviews
Thank you to Krainer02, Nicgrana, Vre99, Amaiya99, Malmims, and Dr. Rahn for the feedback on my draft. Nicgrana, thank you for providing my the link to the study concerning stereotype threat, I did not end up using the article since it was out of the 10 years range but I did enjoy the study. I have add to my draft a piece on stereotype threats in the classroom.

Amaiya99 and Vre99, your feedback made my think about possible incorporating the 1619 Project curriculum, that are available to schools. Quick overview of the 1619 Project is apart of the New York Times, was started on the 400th anniversary of slavery in the U.S. and consequences that slavery has on African Americans today. The 1619 Project curriculum is correcting the mistaught way slavery is discussed in classrooms, it starts by educating kids about the first enslaved Africans that arrived in Virginia when the U.S. was founded through reading guides, activities, etc. Though the research concerning this is more self-reported and lacking, probably since few people are aware of this project. I only found out about it about 2 weeks.

Dr.Rahn I will revise my initial improvement to the article.

I do not known which user bolded my initial draft, but thank you. And I can see where you mentioned that you do not see where I can possible integrate the initial draft but hopefully through my new draft it will make more sense in the section.

I would suggest you revise your contribution as follows:

'''Racial disparities projected onto minority students can lead to a decline in their academic performance that can in turn affect students throughout their academic career. (LIZ)'''
