Diversity Web on our interactions with students whose social and cultural The current movement toward diversity and multiculturalism of racial and ethnic studies and women s http://www.diversityweb.org/Digest/W99/multidimensional.html
Extractions: Maurianne Adams, Professor of Education, and Linda S. Marchesani, Assistant Director of Residential and Academic Programs, Social Justice Education Program, University of Massachusetts, Amherst The training many college faculty members received in graduate school has ill-prepared them for the social and cultural diversity of today's students. College classrooms today are populated by more women, students of color, older, part-time, international students, as well as students with various disabilities and a range of sexual orientations. The understandable difficulty for faculty socialized within another historical and cultural situation is to know how best to facilitate diverse student learning within an increasingly multicultural context. Faculty development opportunities are essential to aid faculty members in offering the best possible instruction for today's students. We present here a model for faculty development that is designed to help faculty members understand the multiple factors that influence teaching and learning in socially and culturally diverse college classrooms. This analysis is built on a model developed by B. W. Jackson in 1988. The four dimensions of teaching and learning that have particular relevance to issues of social and cultural diversity (see Figure 1) are: 1) the students: knowing one's students and understanding the ways that students from various social and cultural backgrounds experience the college classroom; 2) the instructor: knowing oneself as a person with a prior history of academic socialization interacting with a social and cultural background and learned beliefs; 3) course content: creating a curriculum that incorporates diverse social and cultural perspectives; and 4) teaching methods: developing a broad repertoire of teaching methods to address learning styles of students from different social backgrounds more effectively.

The easiest way to begin integrating technology is to look at lessons and projects that have been developed by teachers whose students are using technology tools. Another way is to look at the lessons posted on the International Society for Technology in Education's (ISTE) Web site. Still another way is to go to Web sites such as Apple Learning Interchange or Intel's Innovation in Education , where you can find lessons created by teachers to be shared with other teachers. Many Web sites can help you begin to integrate technology into your program. Here are just a few: 1. National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS): Connecting Curriculum and Technology On this Web site you will find the table of contents from ISTE publication NETS for Teachers: Preparing Teachers to Use Technology , which has lessons for grades K-12 that integrate technology into the curriculum.

Extractions: Teacher Education Program The program prepares undergraduate and graduate students to become secondary school social studies teachers (grades 7-12) in New York State. The program requires completion of an approved major in one of the social science departments or interdisciplinary programs, and completion of a specified distribution of courses of particular relevance to the secondary school social studies curriculum. In addition, students must complete a required sequence of professional study in education courses and supervised student teaching at the secondary school level. This program provides graduates with the intellectual rigor of an academic major as well as a valuable professional credential that qualifies them to teach in New York State and many other states of the country. Stony Brook students preparing for teacher certification take their courses with the same faculty who teach undergraduate and graduate students in the academic departments and interdisciplinary programs, and have the same opportunity for contact with renowned professors in the field. Clinical placements for Stony Brook students are available in an interesting cross section of cooperating school districts that draw upon school populations with a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds, including culturally diverse students, students with disabilities, and gifted and talented students. Many schools are engaged in innovative and experimental programs in education.
Ed083102: How To Teach Religion In Public Schools the teaching of religion in social studies, the arts religions in its Historysocial Science Framework. and respect in California s diverse school environments. http://www.heritage.org/Press/Commentary/ed083102.cfm
Extractions: Earlier this year, a kindergartner named Kayla was told she couldn't pray with her friends during lunch. Her family filed suit against her New York school district, and a federal judge ordered the school to allow the girl to pray while the trial proceeds. This situation probably never would have arisen if school officials had been properly cognizant of a string of Supreme Court decisions in recent decades that have clarified students' rights and responsibilities under the law regarding religious exercise and free speech. Ignorance of these decisions has led to school policies, as in Kayla's case, that chill legal religious practice and that cold-shoulder the legitimate and legal teaching about religion in such subjects as social studies, literature, history, and geography. According to the Constitution, the American people are guaranteed the right to practice religion free from government intervention. But interpreting the First Amendment clause "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" has not been easy, particularly pertaining to public schools. Nonetheless, the High Court has said, generally speaking, that voluntary student expression and the study of religion are protected but proselytizing and school-sanctioned or teacher-led prayers are not.

TREND 1: HISTORY, HISTORY, AND MORE HISTORY Every major curriculum report in recent years has called for more emphasis on history. Some argue that history is the single discipline that unites all the fields within social studies. Others point out that the humanitiesincluding art, music, and philosophycan also be taught through historical study. Instead of focusing almost completely on political, military, and diplomatic events, there is much more concern with social historyhow average people lived, worked, and played. Religion, ideas, art and music, entertainment and sports are important aspects of human life and should be included in the study of any historical period. Moreover, history has become more inclusive. Students are learning about all peoples and cultures who have preceded us on this planet. The history of civilizations in Africa, Asia, and the Americas has been combined with the traditional coverage of Western Europe to attempt a true "world" history. U.S. history now includes the contributions of all groups who have built this nation.
