RESEARCH ON COMPANIES
The #1 reason
why people are
fired
from their job is:
the inability to get
along with others.
RESEARCH FROM YALE STUDY
The #1 reason
why people are
fired
from their first job is:
the inability to get

RESIDENCE ADVISORS’ STUDY
The #1 reason
why first year college
students have a bad
experience living in a
dormitory is:
the inability to get

IN THE OLD DAYS
Teachers educated students in reading,
writing and arithmetic to prepare for
jobs in agriculture and manufacturing.
TODAY AND THE FUTURE
Teachers must prepare
students to work in a global
workplace and compete with
job seekers internationally.
THE GLOBAL OUTLOOK
Forty percent of the
S&P 500’s biggest
corporations
do ... more than 60
percent of their
business abroad

ABLE-ISM – NOT SO SUBTLE
“Look at the angle that he was in,” says New Westminster
mom Anne Belanger, her voice a whisper as she fought
back tears. “He’s ostracized. He wants to be part of
the gang so much.”
RACIAL MICROAGGRESSIONS
 Such incidents
have become a
common-place
experience for
many people of
color because they
seem to occur
constantly in our
daily lives.
wahowe-csde
38
RACIAL MICROAGGRESSIONS …
Are the brief and everyday
slights, insults, indignities and
denigrating messages
sent to people of color by well-
intentioned White people who are
unaware of the hidden messages being
communicated.
RACIAL MICROAGGRESSIONS …
These messages may be sent verbally
("You speak good English."), nonverbally
(clutching one's purse more tightly) or
environmentally (symbols like the
confederate flag or using American Indian
mascots). Such communications are
usually outside the level of conscious
awareness of perpetrators.
AVERSIVE RACISM
Many well-intentioned White people
consciously believe in and profess
equality, but unconsciously act in a racist
manner, particularly in ambiguous
situations.
When a White couple (man and women)
passes a Black man on the sidewalk, the
woman automatically clutches her purse
more tightly, while the White man checks
for his wallet in the back pocket.
(Hidden Message: Blacks are prone to
crime and up to no good.)
A third generation Asian American is
complimented by a taxi cab driver for
speaking such good English.
(Hidden Message: Asian Americans are
perceived as perpetual aliens in their
own country and not "real Americans.")
Police stop a Latino male driver for no
apparent reason but to subtly check his
driver's license to determine immigration
status.
(Hidden message: Latinas/os are illegal
aliens.)
American Indian students at the
University of Illinois see Native American
symbols and mascots - exemplified by
Chief Illiniwek dancing and whooping
fiercely during football games.
(Hidden Message: American Indians are
savages, blood-thirsty and their culture
and traditions are demeaned.)
EMPATHY DEFICIT
Researchers at the University of Michigan
Institute for Social Research reported that
college students now are 40 percent less
empathetic than they were in 1979, with the
steepest drop coming in the last 10 years.
Students today are generally less likely to
describe themselves as "soft-hearted" or have
"tender concerned feelings for others" and
more likely to admit that "other people's
misfortunes" usually don't bother them.
(Boston Globe, Oct 17, 2010)
I BELIEVE WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD IF WE
START LISTENING TO ONE ANOTHER AGAIN.
Simple, honest, human conversation.
Not mediation, negotiation, problem
solving, debate, or public meetings. Simple,
truthful conversation where we each feel
heard, and we each listen well. This is how
great changes begin, when people begin
talking to each other about their
experiences, hopes, and fears. “
From Turning to One Another: Simple Conversations to Restore Hope to the Future, by Margaret
Wheatley.

 We spend 45% of awake time listening.
75% of the words are ignored, misunderstood
or forgotten
Most Adults Listen Actively for 17 seconds
LISTENING TECHNIQUES
ACTIVE CONSTRUCTIVE
 The listener must
take care to attend to
the speaker fully, and
then repeats, in the
listener’s own words,
what he or she thinks
the speaker has said.
 “I agree to listen and
think about what you
say in exchange for
you doing the same
for me.”

CONSTRUCTIVIST LISTENING GUIDELINES
Each Person
• Has equal time to talk.
• Does not interrupt, give advice or break
in with a personal story.
• Agrees that confidentiality is
maintained.
• Focus on what the speaker is saying
others
DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS
Learning the words - how to talk
about
perspectives, perceptions
differences, and attitudes.
FACILITATING CONDITIONS/STRATEGIES
Becoming culturally skilled and competent in
facilitating difficult dialogues on race is a
constant lifelong journey. Understand that
everyone will commit racial blunders or make
insensitive statements.
The issue is how your recover, not how you
cover up.
(Derald Wing Sue)
PEOPLE OF COLOR VIGNETTE #6
During a radio interview with the author of
a book on Buddhist meditation practice,
the talk show host asked whether the
author had attempted to reach out
to people of color. The author responded
by saying, "Yes, I'm offering the
meditation workshops in both prisons
and juvenile halls."

in Instructional Materials (Sadker & Sadker,
SEVEN FORMS OF BIAS
70
1. INVISIBILITY: WHAT YOU DON’T SEE MAKES A
LASTING IMPRESSION.
 Textbooks published prior to the 1960s
largely omitted African Americans,
Latinos, and Asian Americans from both
the narrative and illustrations. Many of
today’s textbooks are improved, but far
from perfect. Women, those with
disabilities, LGBTQ people continue to be
missing from many of today’s texts
2. STEREOTYPING:
SHORTCUTS TO BIGOTRY.
 The stereotype assigns a rigid set of
characteristics to all members of a group, at
the cost of individual attributes and
differences. While stereotypes can be positive,
they are more often negative. Some typical
stereotypes include:
 Men portrayed as assertive and successful in their
jobs, but rarely discussed as husbands or fathers.
 Women as caregivers
 Jewish people as rich
3. IMBALANCE AND SELECTIVITY: A TALE
HALF TOLD.
 Curriculum may perpetuate bias by presenting
only one interpretation of an issue, situation, or
group of people. Such accounts simplify and
distort complex issues by omitting different
perspectives.
 Literature is drawn primarily from western,
male authors.
 Math and science courses typically reference
European discoveries and formulas.
4. UNREALITY: ROSE COLORED GLASSES.
 tendency of instructional materials to gloss over
unpleasant facts and events in our history. By
ignoring prejudice, racism, discrimination,
exploitation, oppression, sexism, and inter-group
conflict, we deny students the information they
need to recognize, understand, and perhaps some
day conquer societal problems. Examples include:
 The notion that technology will resolve persistent
social problems.
5. FRAGMENTATION AND ISOLATION: THE PARTS
ARE LESS THAN THE WHOLE.
 A "special" chapter or insert appearing in a text? For
example, a box describing "Ten Black Achievers in
Science." Fragmentation emerges when a group is
physically or visually isolated in the text. Often, racial
and ethnic group members are depicted as interacting
only with persons like themselves, isolated from other
cultural communities.
6. LINGUISTIC BIAS:
WORDS COUNT.
 Language can be a powerful conveyor of bias, in both
blatant and subtle forms. Linguistic bias can impact
race/ethnicity, gender, accents, age, (dis)ability and
sexual orientation.
 Such words as forefathers, mankind, and
businessman serve to deny the contributions (even
the existence) of females.
 The bias against non-English speakers.
7. COSMETIC BIAS:
"SHINY" COVERS.
 The relatively new cosmetic bias suggests that a text is
bias free, but beyond the attractive covers, photos, or
posters, bias persists. This "illusion of equity" is really a
marketing strategy to give a favorable impression to
potential purchasers who only flip the pages of books.
 A science textbook that features a glossy pullout of
female scientists but includes precious little narrative of
the scientific contributions of women.
 A music book with an eye-catching, multiethnic cover
that projects a world of diverse songs and symphonies
belies the traditional white male composers lurking
behind the cover.

TWO KEY ISSUES IN MULTICULTURAL
EDUCATION*
1. Bias And Multiple Perspectives
2. Changing Content & Process
JAMES A. BANKS (1995)
 "Multicultural education is a field of study …whose
major aim is to create equal educational
opportunities for students from diverse racial,
ethnic, social-class, and cultural groups. One of its
important goals is to help all students to acquire
the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to
function effectively in a pluralistic democratic
society and to interact, negotiate, and
communicate with peoples from diverse groups in
order to create a civic and moral community that
works for the common good."
Multicultural
Education
Deals with the extent to
which teachers use
examples and content from a
variety of cultures and
groups to illustrate key
concepts, principles,
generalizations, and theories
in their subject area or
discipline.
Content Integration Knowledge Construction Process
Relates to the extent to which teachers help
students understand, investigate, and determine
how the implicit cultural assumptions, frames of
reference, perspectives, and biases within a
discipline influence the ways in which knowledge
is constructed within in.
An Equity Pedagogy
Exists when teachers
modify their teaching in
ways that facilitate the
academic achievement of
students from diverse
racial, cultural, and social
class groups. This includes
using a variety of teaching
styles that are consistent
with the wide range of
learning styles within
various cultural and ethnic
groups.
Prejudice Reduction
Focuses on the characteristics of
students’ racial attitudes and how they
can be modified by teaching methods
and materials.
Empowering School Culture & Social Structure
Grouping & labeling practices, sports participation,
disproportionality in achievement, & the interactions of the staff
and students across ethnic and racial lines are among the
components of school culture that must be examined to create a
school culture that empowers students from diverse racial,
ethnic, & cultural groups.

BANKS (1993A) FOUR APPROACHES FOR
INTEGRATING MULTICULTURAL CONTENT.
LevelsofInfusion
4. Incorporates a variety of perspectives and promotes social action
pertinent to cultural concerns.
3. Topics and issues become focal points and are viewed from a variety of
cultural perspectives.
2. Lessons and units containing cultural content, themes, and
perspectives are added to the existing curriculum.
1. Contributions Approach -
ethnic heroes, holidays, and food.
That are multicultural
CREATING LESSON PLANS
90
… TECHNICAL COMPETENCE IN TEACHING
SKILLS
(such as leading discussions and managing groups), solid
knowledge of subject matter, and knowledge of how to teach are
essential, but not sufficient for effective teaching. Teachers’
attitudes and expectations, as well as their knowledge of how to
incorporate the cultures, experiences, and needs of their
students into their teaching, significantly influence what students
learn and the quality of their learning opportunities.
(Darling-Hammond, L., & Bransford, J. 2005).

  • 36. ABLE-ISM – NOT SO SUBTLE
  • 37. “Look at the angle that he was in,” says New Westminster mom Anne Belanger, her voice a whisper as she fought back tears. “He’s ostracized. He wants to be part of the gang so much.”
  • 38. RACIAL MICROAGGRESSIONS  Such incidents have become a common-place experience for many people of color because they seem to occur constantly in our daily lives. wahowe-csde 38
  • 39. RACIAL MICROAGGRESSIONS … Are the brief and everyday slights, insults, indignities and denigrating messages sent to people of color by well- intentioned White people who are unaware of the hidden messages being communicated.
  • 40. RACIAL MICROAGGRESSIONS … These messages may be sent verbally ("You speak good English."), nonverbally (clutching one's purse more tightly) or environmentally (symbols like the confederate flag or using American Indian mascots). Such communications are usually outside the level of conscious awareness of perpetrators.
  • 41. AVERSIVE RACISM Many well-intentioned White people consciously believe in and profess equality, but unconsciously act in a racist manner, particularly in ambiguous situations.
  • 42. When a White couple (man and women) passes a Black man on the sidewalk, the woman automatically clutches her purse more tightly, while the White man checks for his wallet in the back pocket. (Hidden Message: Blacks are prone to crime and up to no good.)
  • 43. A third generation Asian American is complimented by a taxi cab driver for speaking such good English. (Hidden Message: Asian Americans are perceived as perpetual aliens in their own country and not "real Americans.")
  • 44. Police stop a Latino male driver for no apparent reason but to subtly check his driver's license to determine immigration status. (Hidden message: Latinas/os are illegal aliens.)
  • 45. American Indian students at the University of Illinois see Native American symbols and mascots - exemplified by Chief Illiniwek dancing and whooping fiercely during football games. (Hidden Message: American Indians are savages, blood-thirsty and their culture and traditions are demeaned.)
  • 46. EMPATHY DEFICIT Researchers at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research reported that college students now are 40 percent less empathetic than they were in 1979, with the steepest drop coming in the last 10 years. Students today are generally less likely to describe themselves as "soft-hearted" or have "tender concerned feelings for others" and more likely to admit that "other people's misfortunes" usually don't bother them.

Simple, truthful conversation where we each feel heard, and we each listen well. This is how great changes begin, when people begin talking to each other about their experiences, hopes, and fears. “ From Turning to One Another: Simple Conversations to Restore Hope to the Future, by Margaret Wheatley. wahowe-csde 48

  • 71. 1. INVISIBILITY: WHAT YOU DON’T SEE MAKES A LASTING IMPRESSION.  Textbooks published prior to the 1960s largely omitted African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans from both the narrative and illustrations. Many of today’s textbooks are improved, but far from perfect. Women, those with disabilities, LGBTQ people continue to be missing from many of today’s texts
  • 72. 2. STEREOTYPING: SHORTCUTS TO BIGOTRY.  The stereotype assigns a rigid set of characteristics to all members of a group, at the cost of individual attributes and differences. While stereotypes can be positive, they are more often negative. Some typical stereotypes include:  Men portrayed as assertive and successful in their jobs, but rarely discussed as husbands or fathers.  Women as caregivers  Jewish people as rich
  • 73. 3. IMBALANCE AND SELECTIVITY: A TALE HALF TOLD.  Curriculum may perpetuate bias by presenting only one interpretation of an issue, situation, or group of people. Such accounts simplify and distort complex issues by omitting different perspectives.  Literature is drawn primarily from western, male authors.  Math and science courses typically reference European discoveries and formulas.
  • 74. 4. UNREALITY: ROSE COLORED GLASSES.  tendency of instructional materials to gloss over unpleasant facts and events in our history. By ignoring prejudice, racism, discrimination, exploitation, oppression, sexism, and inter-group conflict, we deny students the information they need to recognize, understand, and perhaps some day conquer societal problems. Examples include:  The notion that technology will resolve persistent social problems.
  • 75. 5. FRAGMENTATION AND ISOLATION: THE PARTS ARE LESS THAN THE WHOLE.  A "special" chapter or insert appearing in a text? For example, a box describing "Ten Black Achievers in Science." Fragmentation emerges when a group is physically or visually isolated in the text. Often, racial and ethnic group members are depicted as interacting only with persons like themselves, isolated from other cultural communities.

Linguistic bias can impact race/ethnicity, gender, accents, age, (dis)ability and sexual orientation.  Such words as forefathers, mankind, and businessman serve to deny the contributions (even the existence) of females.  The bias against non-English speakers.
  • 77. 7. COSMETIC BIAS: "SHINY" COVERS.  The relatively new cosmetic bias suggests that a text is bias free, but beyond the attractive covers, photos, or posters, bias persists. This "illusion of equity" is really a marketing strategy to give a favorable impression to potential purchasers who only flip the pages of books.  A science textbook that features a glossy pullout of female scientists but includes precious little narrative of the scientific contributions of women.  A music book with an eye-catching, multiethnic cover that projects a world of diverse songs and symphonies belies the traditional white male composers lurking behind the cover.

  • 87. JAMES A. BANKS (1995)  "Multicultural education is a field of study …whose major aim is to create equal educational opportunities for students from diverse racial, ethnic, social-class, and cultural groups. One of its important goals is to help all students to acquire the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to function effectively in a pluralistic democratic society and to interact, negotiate, and communicate with peoples from diverse groups in order to create a civic and moral community that works for the common good."
  • 88. Multicultural Education Deals with the extent to which teachers use examples and content from a variety of cultures and groups to illustrate key concepts, principles, generalizations, and theories in their subject area or discipline. Content Integration Knowledge Construction Process Relates to the extent to which teachers help students understand, investigate, and determine how the implicit cultural assumptions, frames of reference, perspectives, and biases within a discipline influence the ways in which knowledge is constructed within in. An Equity Pedagogy Exists when teachers modify their teaching in ways that facilitate the academic achievement of students from diverse racial, cultural, and social class groups. This includes using a variety of teaching styles that are consistent with the wide range of learning styles within various cultural and ethnic groups. Prejudice Reduction Focuses on the characteristics of students’ racial attitudes and how they can be modified by teaching methods and materials. Empowering School Culture & Social Structure Grouping & labeling practices, sports participation, disproportionality in achievement, & the interactions of the staff and students across ethnic and racial lines are among the components of school culture that must be examined to create a school culture that empowers students from diverse racial, ethnic, & cultural groups.
