Critical Consciousness Checklist
This chapter aims at providing pre-service and in-service teachers with a tool to analyze the criticality of their lessons. Teacher training programs are focused heavily on reflection of the effectiveness of an educator's classroom. This reflection generally concerns itself with ensuring that students meet learning targets and master the content. This chapter examines reflection through the lens of critical praxis, including positions of power, funds of knowledge, and meaning making. It provides a recommended checklist of questions aimed at facilitating an analysis of the extent to which lessons and activities successfully allow students to inhabit positions of power, access their funds of knowledge, and make meaning. Implications of critical reflective inquiry will enable teachers to more equitably guide students through their education.
