Operation TEACH Related Activities There are activities young people can do to learn more about buckling up and help others learn more as well. Here are a few suggestions. Teaching and Learning Activities: Hold a seat belt/child seat installation checkpoint in your school parking lot: Many community organizations, safety groups, health and medical groups, fire departments and law enforcement agencies have trained personnel to help you do this. Invite local safety "experts" to make a presentation: Ask a police officer, firefighter, nurse, doctor, PTA Safety Chair or other community safety leaders to talk about buckling up and air bag safety. Study your state's occupant protection laws: Research the seat belt and child passenger safety laws in your state. Create Science or History Fair exhibits about buckling up: Show, in a scientific demonstration, the force a crash or roll-over has on unbelted and belted occupants or write about the history of belt use in America. Contact the National Science Teachers Association for information about their new curriculum with traffic safety-related science experiments. Create an incentive program for Operation TEACH activities: Points could be accumulated for activities completed by individual students, classes or scout packs.

Book Nook Cherokee Female Seminary Volume 4, No. 3 (Fall 2001) Native American Issue Teacher Talk Appropriate Methods For Teaching About Native American Peoples From the Ableza Institute http://www.ableza.org/ Understand the term "Native American" includes all peoples indigenous to the Western Hemisphere. Present Native American people as appropriate role models to children. Native American students should not be singled out and asked to describe their families’ traditions or their culture. Avoid the assumption there are no Native American students in your class. Use books and materials which are written and illustrated by Native American people: speeches, songs, poems, and writings, which show the linguistic skill of a people who have come from an oral tradition. When teaching ABC’s, avoid "I is for Indian" and "E is for Eskimo." Avoid rhymes or songs that use Native Americans as counting devices, i.e. "One little, two little, three ..." Research the traditions and histories, oral and written, of Native Americans before attempting to teach these. Avoid referring to or using materials which depict Native Americans as savages, primitives, "The Noble Savage," "Red Man," "simple," or "extinct."

Teaching of the contributions of Hispanic Americans, and learning about the cultures from which they come, will be the focal point of many classroom activities and discussions in the weeks ahead as students across the United States recognize Hispanic Heritage Month September 15 to October 15. But why teach about Hispanic heritage? Or, for that matter, why teach about any heritage? Clearly, teaching about the contributions of Latinos can only help to build the self-esteem and the pride of those who identify themselves as Mexican-American or Cuban-American or Puerto Rican-American or . . . . But, even more importantly, it is essential that all students learn to understand the ethnic diversity that is our country, according to

It's like a dream, as if I had been living in wonderland, but then I woke up. The reality of our society hit me right in the face. Although what I learned in this class has disappointed me, I'm glad to be given the opportunity of looking beyond my own personal life-to be given a choice to care for what happens to all of us as a nation. The rule of law may not prevail, but we as individuals still have the freedom to make choices, and those choices can help to weaken those who are still seeking total control."

95. A Crisis Over Consensus: Standardized Testing In American History And Student Le t really need to anything about american history to answer out a huge segment of theamerican labor movement true for unions that engage in political activity. http://radicalpedagogy.icaap.org/content/issue5_2/03_rees.html

Radical Pedagogy (2003) ISSN: 1524-6345 A Crisis Over Consensus: Standardized Testing in American History and Student Learning Jonathan Rees Department of History Jonathan.Rees@colostate-pueblo.edu Abstract In the months leading up to the recent war with Iraq, President Bush and other conservatives invoked standardized test scores to suggest that American students do not know enough U.S. history to understand the crisis. In fact, as the example of the National Assessment of Educational Progress U.S. History exam indicates, structural flaws and problems with question design make any standardized history test a bad measure of student understanding. Worse still, because the framework of this exam limits test subject areas to a narrow consensus, it defeats the purpose of learning historical knowledge to promote informed democracy and encourages the misuse of history for partisan political purposes. Rather than recognize the inherent flaws of creating tests that cover only a small portion of an infinite historical landscape, conservative politicians and educational reformers exploit standardized test scores to promote the idea that a crisis exists in history and civics education. They insist that the house is on fire so that they can sell their version of fire prevention. Teaching conservative values is how they want to stop historical and civic ignorance from reoccurring, and by using standardized tests they can claim their methods are scientifically measured and objective. However, if you recognize how long complaints about the historical stupidity of American students have been around it is very difficult to become alarmed. Sam Wineburg, at the beginning of his book

Not long ago I was working with children in a school on the east coast and told them I had just come from working with Indian children in North Dakota. They were sure I was telling another story since, they said, "There aren't any more Indians. We killed them all." Hard to believe such things in today's world of television and world wide communication, but I'm sure these children were not unique in their ignorance. Many studies of Indians leave students convinced that all Indians lived in tepees then and still do or that they were all wiped out, not that our ancestors didn't try.

:Alicia P. Gregory he sound of Lee Sexton's banjo bounces from the hand-hewn ceiling beams to the original plank floor, masking the crash of thunder outside. The dancers weave back and forth, looping arms as they switch partners. The bystanders, like me, make paper fans in the sweltering meeting room that, despite the rain, hasn't gotten any cooler since this muggy July day topped 90 degrees. Photo by Alicia P. Gregory Before the dancing began, Blackey, Kentucky, native Charlie Whitaker addressed the group. He painted a picture of other summer nights in Eastern Kentucky: furniture was put out in the front yard, cleared from the main room to accommodate as many neighbors as could squeeze in. The dancing would go on till the sun came up. "You know, it just wasn't safe to travel back home at night through these mountains," says Whitaker, the square-dance caller for the Carcassone Community Dancers. Ranging in age from 17 to 75, the dancers are members of one of the nation's oldest community square dances, and their sashays, promenades and do-si-dos preserve the traditional dances their ancestors brought with them when they settled in Eastern Kentucky. This is history in motion, the kind of thing passed from generation to generation that rarely makes it into history books. But as I watch the faces of the 20 public school teachers who join in with the Carcassone Dancers, I see the virtue in preserving these traditions and teaching children, by tangible means, how to discover and value the past.

Traditional saying Respecting other people's rights creates an atmosphere of peace. Benito Juarez Sing and do not cry, because with singing the heart becomes happy. lyrics from Cileto Lindo Fascinating Facts: Cinco de Mayo [the fifth of May] is one of 2 days which commemorate the independence of Mexico. Although Mexico's official independence day is el Dieciseis de Septiembre [September 16th], Cinco de Mayo is also considered a day of great importance. Having gained its independence from Spain by 1821, Mexico continued to be a hotbed of unrest. Rich in natural resources and gold, this land was coveted by the U.S. in its push to span the North American continent, as well as by European powers who viewed Mexico as a political foothold in the western hemisphere. Its territorial disputes with the U.S. having been settled by 1849, Mexico's attention was then focused on Europe. In addition to its importance in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is significant to
