Ira Shore identifies the principal goals of Critical Pedagogy by stating that
when pedagogy and curricular policy reflect egalitarian goals, they do what education can do best:

I. Oppose socialization with desocialization
II. Choose critical consciousness over commercial consciousness
III. Transformation of society over reproduction of inequality
IV. Promote democracy by practicing it and by studying authoritarianism
V. Challenge student withdrawal through participatory courses
VI. Illuminate the myths supporting the elite hierarchy of society
VII. Interfere with the scholastic disabling of students through a critical literacy program
VIII. Raise awareness about the thought and language expressed in daily life
IX. Distribute research skills and censored information useful for investigating power and policy in society
X. Invite students to reflect socially on their conditions, to consider overcoming limits
