The Color of Fear (Part 1) | Diversity Training Films - StirFry Seminars and Consulting - 0 views

  •  
    "The Color of Fear is an insightful, groundbreaking film about the state of race relations in America as seen through the eyes of eight North American men of Asian, European, Latino and African descent. In a series of intelligent, emotional and dramatic confrontations the men reveal the pain and scars that racism has caused them. What emerges is a deeper sense of understanding and trust. This is the dialogue most of us fear, but hope will happen sometime in our lifetime. (1994, 90 minutes)  To purchase this film in DVD format, please visit the StirFry Seminars Store."

The Achievement Gap Initiative - 0 views

  •  
    Our mission is to bridge research and practice by framing important issues, producing and disseminating new research and distilling the implications for action by decision makers. The AGI promotes excellence with equity as the defining goal. Not only should there be group proportional equality-where group-level characteristics such as race or socioeconomic status have no bearing on an individual's educational achievement-there should also be excellence

Civil Rights Data - 0 views

  •  
    "The U.S. Department of Education [ED] conducts the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), formerly the Elementary and Secondary School Survey (E&S Survey), to collect data on key education and civil rights issues in our nation's public schools. The CRDC collects a variety of information including, student enrollment and educational programs and services, disaggregated by race/ethnicity, sex, limited English proficiency and disability. The CRDC is a longstanding and important aspect of the ED Office for Civil Right's overall strategy for administering and enforcing the civil rights statutes for which it is responsible. Information collected by the CRDC is also used by other ED offices as well as policymakers and researchers outside of ED."

ESEA Renewal: What We Know So Far - Politics K-12 - Education Week - 0 views

  •  
    "It sounds like the Education Department is edging closer and closer to releasing its draft proposal on reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. And even though we haven't seen a comprehensive draft, a lot of the details have already been made public, either through announcements from the White House, the fiscal 2011 budget proposal, Race to the Top regulations, or U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's speeches. For instance we already know that:"

Being Black is Not a Risk Factor: Read the Reports | NBCDI - 0 views

Achievement Gap | Racial achievement gap: Can it be narrowed in one easy session? - Los... - 0 views

  •  
    "Now there's a study that appears to show that a simple one-hour exercise can halve the racial achievement gap, while also making minority students healthier and happier. Although this claim sounds as preposterous as a pitch for a potion to cure baldness or to erase wrinkles, it's made in a recent issue of the journal Science."

What My Bike Has Taught Me About White Privilege | A Little More Sauce - 0 views

  •  
    "The phrase "white privilege" is one that rubs a lot of white people the wrong way. It can trigger something in them that shuts down conversation or at least makes them very defensive. (Especially those who grew up relatively less privileged than other folks around them). And I've seen more than once where this happens and the next move in the conversation is for the person who brought up white privilege to say, "The reason you're getting defensive is because you're feeling the discomfort of having your privilege exposed.""

America's Educational Crossroads: Making the Right Choice for Our Children's Future | U... - 0 views

  • Johnson said, “I made up my mind that this Nation could never rest while the door to knowledge remained closed to any American.”
  • I believe every single child is entitled to an education that sets her up for success in careers, college, and life. I believe education cannot and should not be boiled down just to reading and math. I believe the arts and history, foreign languages, financial literacy, physical education, and after school enrichment are as important as advanced math and science classes. Those are essentials, not luxuries. I believe that all students must be held to high expectations for learning, no matter their zip code, race or ethnicity, disability, or whether they are still learning English. I believe that states should always choose those standards, as they always have, and that those standards should align clearly and honestly with what young people will need to know for success in school, in college, and in life.
  • I believe that every single child deserves the opportunity for a strong start in life through high-quality preschool, and expanding those opportunities must be part of ESEA. I believe that every family, and every community, deserves to know that schools are making a priority of the progress of all children, including those from low-income areas, racial and ethnic minorities, those with disabilities, those learning English, and others who all too often, historically, have been marginalized, and underserved, and undereducated. And I believe they deserve to know that if students in those groups actually fall behind, that schools will take action to improve. I believe that no student deserves to be cheated out of an education by being stuck in a school that fails too many of its students, year after year after year. I believe that schools must be a pipeline to opportunity, not to prison.

  • I believe that we should create new incentives to catalyze bold state and local innovation in support of student success and achievement.
  • I believe that every single child deserves fair access to the resources of her school and her district – and access to excellent teachers and principals.
  • I believe all educators and principals need and deserve excellent preparation, support and opportunities for growth that go far beyond what exists in most places today. And I’m pleased to say, you’ll hear more about this when President Obama releases his budget. I believe teachers and principals deserve to be paid in a way that reflects the importance of the work they do – regardless of the tax base of their surrounding community. I believe teachers and schools need greater resources and funds. This year, President Obama's Budget will include $2.7 billion for increased spending on ESEA programs, including $1 billion additional just for Title I. And we will fight to make sure Congress provides more resources as part of any effort to rewrite ESEA. I believe those in low-income schools should have resources and support comparable to that in other schools. Our children and teachers, who need and deserve the most, cannot continue to receive the least. I believe that all teachers deserve fair, genuinely helpful systems for evaluation and professional growth that identify excellence and take into account student learning growth.
  • I believe parents, and teachers, and students have both the right and the absolute need to know how much progress all students are making each year towards college- and career-readiness. The reality of unexpected, crushing disappointments, about the actual lack of college preparedness cannot continue to happen to hard working 16- and 17-year olds – it is not fair to them, and it is simply too late. Those days must be over.
