Decolonization

Strongly agree

No, teach to each student's potential instead of uniform testing

Teaching to each student's potential instead of uniform testing aligns with decolonization principles that advocate for personalized, culturally relevant education that respects and incorporates students' backgrounds, identities, and community knowledge.

Agree

No, education should be handled at the state and local level instead of the national level

Decolonization ideology supports the empowerment of local and indigenous communities to make decisions that affect them, including in education, which aligns with the idea of handling education at the state and local level.

Agree

No

Decolonization ideology may support the rejection of Common Core national standards if seen as a rejection of a one-size-fits-all approach to education that does not account for local cultures, histories, and needs.

Slightly agree

No, my state’s current standards exceed the Common Core standards

While decolonization ideology supports exceeding minimal standards, the focus on state standards over national ones does not inherently align with decolonization unless those state standards specifically address local and indigenous knowledge and needs.

Slightly agree

Yes, I support a national base standard but allow states and local districts to customize their implementation

Supporting a national base standard with customization for states and local districts partially aligns with decolonization by allowing for some local adaptation, but it may still perpetuate a centralized framework that can marginalize non-dominant forms of knowledge.

Neutral

No, it is a waste of time and effort to change my state’s current educational standards

The stance on changing educational standards to avoid waste of time and effort does not directly relate to decolonization principles, which prioritize the content and approach of education over logistical concerns.

Slightly disagree

Yes, I support the concept but not the current implementation

While the critique of the current implementation of Common Core may resonate with decolonization's critique of educational systems, the support for the concept of national standards does not fully align with decolonization's emphasis on local autonomy and culturally relevant education.

Disagree

Yes

Decolonization ideology often critiques standardized systems imposed by central authorities as they can perpetuate colonial frameworks and ignore local, indigenous, and marginalized community needs and knowledge systems.

Strongly disagree

Yes, national standards will help improve our national average and better prepare students for college

Decolonization ideology critiques the focus on national averages and preparation for college as these goals can overshadow the importance of culturally relevant, community-specific education that values diverse forms of knowledge beyond academia.
