EPS 300 ASIAN AMERICAN education IN HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY CONTEXTS. Compilation of Asian American education Resources ? Literature Review.
http://www.ed.uiuc.edu/courses/eps300/300syllabus.html

Extractions: Course Description Concurrently, this course also takes a critical look at what it means to be an "Asian American." Are there some essential, identifying factors that makes one "Asian?" How have we come to conceptualize the "Other," the "Oriental" in the development of western colonialism? What role does schooling have in perpetuating "otherness" within the model minority stereotype (especially since Asian American educational experiences have been idealized and popularized in the US as a successful progression toward the American dream of hard work, merit, reward for effort, and a culture predisposed to learning)? Does the history of Asian Americans in the U.S. have any relevance in the lives of students today? It is hoped that by the end of the semester, you come away with more critical, reflective questions than answers or solutions to the questions posed. The intensive, multi-stage, writing requirement is designed to assist in your critical reflection, analysis and synthesis of the readings and class discussions. The sequential writing process is meant for you to critically engage with the issues at hand, to begin to develop a level of mastery in understanding the complex subject area in Asian American education.

A Closer Look At Asian Americans And Education
by CN Le. As has traditionally been the case, receiving an education is of paramount importance for the Asian American community.
http://www.newhorizons.org/strategies/multicultural/le.htm

Extractions: A Closer Look at Asian Americans and Education by C. N. Le As has traditionally been the case, receiving an education is of paramount importance for the Asian American community. Like African Americans, Latinos, and American Indians, Asian Americans have had to fight a long battle to have access to desegregated and equal educational opportunities. In this historical context, some of the most important victories were the 1968 and 1969 student strikes at San Francisco State University and U.C. Berkeley that ultimately led to the establishment of the first Ethnic Studies and Asian American Studies programs in the country. Since then, Asian Americans have faced many other issues when it comes to their educational experience. Perhaps the most far-reaching issue that Asian Americans still face is actually the most ironic. In the past, Asian Americans were fighting mechanisms of prejudice, exclusion, and institutional discrimination that prevented them from even attending certain schools and therefore receiving a fair education. But recently, Asian Americans have been and continue to be touted as the one ethnic minority group that has successfully overcome racism and achieved the American dream, primarily through education.

Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Urban Education New York NY. Stereotypes of Asian American Students. ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC This digest discusses the various negative and positive Asian American stereotypes. It also explores how school practices and individual educatorsconsciously or unconsciouslymay reinforce them. Doing so has important negative social, political, and economic ramifications for Asian Americans. Indeed, while Asian Americans are often characterized as the "model minority" (Lee, 1997, p. 442), many have serious psychological and emotional concerns which are not being addressed. GENERAL STEREOTYPES MODEL MINORITY STEREOTYPES SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CONCERNS The model minority stereotype that Asian American students are "whiz kids" (Brand, 1987) and immune from behavioral or psychological distresses prevents them from acknowledging academic and emotional problems and seeking help. S. Lee (1996) reports on a Cambodian student named Ming who was failing his classes but refused to seek help for his academic difficulties, believing that admitting his academic failure would cause his family to lose face (be ashamed). He was trying to live within the boundaries of the model minority stereotype, and as a result was perpetuating his academic problems, leaving him feeling isolated and depressed.
