Title - Classroom Diversity By - JoAnne Harmon Primary Subject - Social Studies Secondary Subjects - Grade Level - Preschool - Grade 3 This would be a great icebreaker at the beginning of a new school year, and especially if you have multi ethnic children. At the first open house, or at orientation, have a large map of the world hanging for everyone to see. Ask the parents to take a pushpin and pinpoint where their ancestors or they themselves came from in the world. Then use each country as a social studies lesson, and even ask the parents or family member to come in and talk a little about that country. Include books, maps, brochures and even food native to that area. The children will have a great time sampling the different foods and seeing the countries in the maps and brochures. They will hear first hand about that country ( things not often mentioned in textbooks). and it will make the lesson more memorable. This lesson could be adapted for reading classes also.

Gentleman's Agreement Subjects Character Development - Male Role Model; Female Role Model; Parenting; Ethical Emphasis - Trustworthiness; Respect. Description: The year is 1947. Phil Green, a journalist, has been hired by a popular magazine to write a series of articles about anti-Semitism in the U.S. He decides to pretend that he is Jewish and to record the reactions of the people he meets. As he prepares the series he meets Kathy Lacey, the niece of his publisher. It was Kathy who had initially proposed the series of articles that Phil is writing. She and Phil fall in love, but they find that Kathy has subtle and previously hidden anti-Semitic feelings. These are unacceptable to Phil who believes that prejudice in all its forms is evil. This film is the story of Phil's experiences in writing the series and how he and Kathy try to resolve their differences. "Gentleman's Agreement" is based on the novel by Laura Z. Hobson. The book was initially serialized in the magazine Cosmopolitan.

71. Social Studies Philosophy This responsibility demands that we teach our students to recognize and respect thediversity that exists A welldesigned social studies curriculum that I want http://www.duke.edu/~ckw/ssp.html

A SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER’S MISSION A s a citizen of a democracy, I support one of the republic’s most important ideals: the common good, i.e., the general welfare of all individuals and groups within the community. The common good is supported when all citizens become aware that the meaning and purpose of education in a democratic republic is the intellectual and ethical development of "student-citizens," young people who will soon assume the role of citizen. I want to be a social studies teacher because of these students. I have been given permission and the task to show my students that their self-interest is dependent upon the well-being of others in the community. If educators address the ethical and intellectual habits of our students, other educational priorities, such as test scores, diversity, and academic achievement will be realized. As a social studies teacher, I want to help my students to construct a personal perspective that enables them to explore emerging events and persistent or recurring issues, considering implications for self, family, and the whole national and world community. Social studies students need to learn to make choices after weighing their personal expectations, along with the pros, cons, responsibilities, and consequences of those choices for themselves and others. I also want to help students construct an academic perspective through study and application of social studies learning experiences. The social studies disciplines provide specific points of view. Discipline-based concepts such as "democratic republic," "citizen," "common good," and others help learners construct the meaning of ideals U.S. citizens hold in common. Discipline-based concepts such as "class," "race," "equal access," and others help learners ask how to live in communities characterized by both unity and diversity and how to close the gap between ideals and reality. The informed social studies learner applies knowledge and processes from academic disciplines and interdisciplinary means to both personal and social experiences.

Below is a set of questions for you to ask yourself about your teaching practice. If you answer "No" to one or more of the questions, you may need to discuss your teaching situation with professional colleagues, your school faculty, a National Board Certified Teacher, your faculty support group, or a state-level official who is directing a fee subsidy program. For the portfolio, will you be able to: demonstrate that your teaching practice meets the Social Studies-History Standards? have access to a class of at least 6 students, in which 51% of the students are ages 14 through 18+ during the period of time between receipt by NBPTS of your $300.00 application fee and submission of your portfolio entries? submit student work samples and videotapes in English and/or Spanish showing your interactions with your students?

NCTAN Implementation Plan Teaching about East Asia Seminar University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Submitted by Melissa S. Juhan Lufkin Road Middle School Currently I teach seventh grade Language Arts and Social Studies at Lufkin Road Middle School in Apex, North Carolina. I hope to be teaching only Social Studies next year, but this all depends on getting a Social Studies endorsement added to my teaching certificate. I plan to spend about six weeks teaching East Asia. This works out to about 22 hours spent on East Asia. The seventh grade Social Studies curriculum in North Carolina focuses on the study of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Realm. I wanted to use as many primary sources as possible and to have the majority of the sources written from a Japanese perspective to try and get at the “authentic voice” to which Dr. Kilgroe referred. Furthermore, my principal, Jim Palermo, went to Japan and visited Tokyo and Hiroshima in November of this year. He visited Waseda Junior High School in Hiroshima, Japan. The English teacher, Junko Maehara, expressed a desire to have pen pals with our school to help her students with their English. I felt that it would be a great opportunity and tie into what I was studying in the seminar. For this reason, I felt that something related to Hiroshima would be appropriate. To really understand why the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki came about it seems to me you would have to go back to Japan’s response to the West and their copying western imperialist ways in the mid 1800’s.

76. The National Council For History Education--Mission Statement top the needless quarrels among ourselves over diversity vs. changes in the conventionalsocial studies curriculum, and education of those who teach history at http://63.70.163.70/nche/mission.html

The National Council for History Education is a non-profit corporation whose Board of Trustees is dedicated to promoting the importance of history in schools and in society. The Council is supported by the contributions of individuals and organizations. NCHE links history in the schools with many activities sponsored by state and local organizations. We provide a communications network for all advocates of history education, whether in schools, colleges, museums, historical councils, or comunity groups. For more information read our mission statement below. All who teach history, anywhere along the line from Grade One to graduate seminars, have a friend: the National Council for History Education, founded in 1990 as the successor organization to the Bradley Commission on History in Schools. Until then, we had no equivalent to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the National Council for Geographic Education, or the other discipline-based advocacy groups that bring school and university people together to tackle all the issues that concern themfrom curricular design, K to Ph.D., through state, local, and university standards and requirements, teacher education, certification, and professional development, to the implications of the assessment movement, of new technologies, and of school re-structuring. Each of these issues was directly addressed in 1988 by the 32-page Bradley Commission report

community partnerships public school residencies community residencies traditional arts program ... diversity in action Diversity in Action The 1998 Ethnographic Study sponsored by the Samuel S. Fels Fund by Wade Patterson and Karen Mazur About the project In the summer of 1998, we were offered an internship to study the Fleisher Memorial's children's art education classes. The goal of the project was to try and identify cultural biases and assumptions in Fleisher's curriculum and to suggest ways in which they might draw on the cultural diversity of South Philadelphia to address the changing face of the community. With backgrounds in Art and Folklore, we saw ourselves primarily as documentors and were drawn to the internship as an opportunity to employ innovative research and presentation strategies that might be useful to educators interested in this topic. We do not consider ourselves authorities on art education or community outreach, but it is our hope that this outsider view might offer new angles by which to examine these issues. About the materials Perhaps the most difficult aspect of this project has been trying to make sense of such a large amount of data in such a short span of time (2 months). In producing these materials, we were attempting to address a variety of concerns. Fleisher was interested in resources that were accessible and relevant to educators both within their institution and in the larger educational community. They also expressed a desire for us to present our methodology as a reference for future self-reflective studies. With all of this in mind, we have created these materials as a way to open up the floor for discussion about cultural diversity in ways that avoid defining identity simply along ethnic lines.
