The Rise in Awareness Regarding Culturally Appropriating CostumesMaisie_Talbot
As advances in communication and technology blur the lines between nation, race, and geography, the concept of cultural appropriation has gained traction in a mainstream audience. Defined by Richard A. Rogers in a paper written for the Northern Arizona University as “the use of a culture’s symbols, artifacts, genres, rituals, or technologies by members of another culture,” cultural appropriation has led various ethnic groups to cry foul at instances they feel either stereotype or reduce their roots.
This presentation discusses lessons learned from the international graduate experience of two students at the University of Oklahoma, Tulsa. It outlines the journey of preparing to leave home and family for a new country and culture, including facing a lack of support system and friends. The key lessons are to be independent, actively engage socially to make friends, and seek harmony over isolation. Contact details are provided for both students.

Considering the Moral Complexity of Adolescents in Divided Societies (Freedma...Ali Hawkins
This document summarizes a research paper about a study called DECIDES that examines how adolescents develop moral reasoning and civic engagement in divided societies. The study looks at 9th and 10th grade students in Northern Ireland, South Africa, and the US to understand how they reconcile personal and global history with current events. By studying teaching about social divisions, conflict, and the future in these societies, which all have legacies of oppression, the goal is to help develop youth who are morally thoughtful and civically active. The paper discusses debates around teaching ethics in schools and the complexity of moral development during adolescence. It also describes previous related work by the author in Rwanda on using history education to address social issues after mass violence.
The document summarizes the Bringing the Lessons Home program, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. The program aims to make the history and lessons of the Holocaust relevant to young people from diverse backgrounds through educational activities. It began with tours of the Holocaust Museum for DC public school students and has expanded to include training students to serve as guides, a summer internship program, and opportunities to learn from Holocaust survivors. The program seeks to engage students as active participants and leaders in their communities to confront hatred and promote human dignity. Evaluations show it has a positive influence on participants and helps spark generational learning about the Holocaust.
The document discusses several events that were hosted by the Cross-Cultural Center during winter quarter 2016, including:
1) The Identity Exploration Series, which held workshops on Asian American, African American, and Chicanx/Latinx leadership.
2) The 33rd annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium, which focused on black resistance and featured several panelists discussing topics like Afro-Pessimism and black queer resistance.
3) A "Food Security Conversation and Community Dinner" that addressed food insecurity and its impacts on students of color through a presentation and group discussions.
The document provides guidelines for teaching the Holocaust in schools. It emphasizes creating a positive learning environment and student-centered approach. Teachers should individualize the history by using personal stories and testimony to make the scale and statistics more meaningful. A cross-curricular approach from different subjects can enrich understanding. Teachers are advised to provide context, avoid simplistic explanations, and encourage students to critically analyze different interpretations of the complex history of the Holocaust.

This document summarizes an article that describes an assignment given to high school students to research LGBTQ issues. The teachers, Dawn Harris and Christa Preston, guided the students through an "i-search" project where they researched a topic of their choosing related to LGBTQ cultures and identities. The teachers recruited a community member, Ms. J, to speak to the students and provide a local perspective. The students conducted surveys, viewed a documentary, and had discussions. While some students were uncomfortable discussing LGBTQ topics initially, the teachers were able to have thoughtful conversations where students examined their own biases and assumptions. The goal of the assignment was for students to have a more informed understanding of LGBTQ issues through hearing different voices and perspectives
The document provides guidelines for teaching about the Holocaust and genocides in a sensitive and effective manner. It recommends defining key terms precisely, avoiding oversimplification and comparisons of pain, and using primary sources and first-person accounts to help students understand the perspectives of various groups and see statistics as representations of individual people. Teachers should strive to provide balanced perspectives and contextualize events in their proper historical context to avoid trivialization or inappropriate generalizations.
The document provides guidelines for teaching about the Holocaust in 3 or fewer sentences:
The guidelines recommend defining key terms like "Holocaust" precisely, avoiding oversimplification of complex issues, using a variety of primary sources, and emphasizing that the Holocaust was not inevitable but resulted from decisions made by individuals, groups, and governments. Educators should provide historical context, avoid comparisons of suffering between different groups, and translate statistics into individual people to help students understand on a personal level.
Here are the key points about coping-tolerance patterns:
- Coping-tolerance patterns refer to how individuals deal with and respond to stressful events and situations.
- They indicate the level of control and influence stressful events have over a person's life and personal well-being.
- The coping strategies and behaviors someone exhibits when under stress reveal their coping-tolerance pattern. This could include actions like problem-solving, avoidance, seeking support, etc.
- More adaptive patterns involve maintaining control over one's emotions and life despite stressors, while less adaptive patterns involve feeling overwhelmed and losing control.
- Coping-tolerance patterns are influenced by personality traits as well as past experiences with stress and trauma.

This essay discusses the relationship between culture and race. It argues that while race is based on physical characteristics, culture is fluid and changes over time within generations. Culture is affected more by factors other than race alone, such as individuality, occupation, and interactions with other cultures. The essay uses Richard Rodriguez's work to illustrate how cultures are merging in America, with new cultural labels emerging that better represent people than traditional racial categories. It aims to show that culture, not race, is a more significant factor in understanding identity.

The document discusses diversity in science and the important contributions of women and minority groups that have often gone unrecognized. It argues that having diversity in gender, race, and ethnicity allows people to be more open-minded, industrious, and innovative. However, in many cases individuals from underrepresented groups face barriers because of their gender, race or ethnicity. The document provides examples of prominent female scientists like Rosalind Franklin and Françoise Barré-Sinoussi who made impactful discoveries but received little recognition. It maintains that diversity fuels excellence in science regardless of attributes like gender or ethnicity.
This document summarizes a study on heritage language schools and their role in supporting refugee communities. It discusses how language loss occurs in refugee children as they spend more time immersed in English at school. This impacts their ability to communicate with parents and help them navigate life in Canada. The document then describes how heritage language schools can help slow language loss by providing an environment for children to learn and practice their heritage language. It also discusses additional benefits of the schools for strengthening parent-child relationships, building community pride, and increasing cultural knowledge.

1. Congratulations to Mrs. Helen Tsipliareles-Pryor, Young Scholars Teacher at
Ruffner Middle Academy for being honored with the 2012 Esther Goldman Teacher Award for
Excellence by The Holocaust Commission of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater. This award is
given annually to recognize teachers who have incorporated the critical lessons of the Holocaust into their
curriculum. In doing so, this helps students understand the connection between history and the moral
decisions that they make in their lives, allowing teachers to impart values of personal accountability,
moral courage, and justice.
This academic award is given in memory of Holocaust survivor, Esther Goldman, whose life was
an inspiration to everyone she touched. Each person who knew Esther was uplifted by her courage to live
when dying was easier; her commitment to sharing her story so that young people understand the dangers
of prejudice; her resilience and optimism; and her love of family and the many people who were fortunate
to be her friend. Mrs. Pryor was selected for this award from among her colleagues, and serves as a model
of how educators can nurture values that all Americans cherish.
Ms. Elena Barr-Baum, Director of the Holocaust Commission presented the following statement
made by Mrs. Pryor during the ceremony, “What better way to explain human spirit and endurance than
to teach the Holocaust. We do this so that our students can learn from tragedies that occurred in the past,
and to guide them in contributing to the good of society in the future. Learning from history, particularly
with events pertaining to the Holocaust, teaches right from wrong, compassion and empathy,
understanding, and respect; and makes them aware that there is no limit to the evils that can occur and no
limit to what can be done today to make sure something like this never happens again. No matter how
must time has passed since the Holocaust, no matter how humane we may think we are, no matter what
technology we now possess, and no matter how safe we may feel; we must stay vigilant and actively work
to eliminate racism, cruelty, and hatred.”
Mrs. Pryor was presented with her award on April 19, 2012 at Congregation Beth El in Norfolk
during an evening of prayer and remembrance for Yom Hashoah. Additionally, she will receive a full
scholarship to attend the Teacher Education Institute at the Virginia Holocaust Museum in Richmond, and
the Holocaust Commission will provide her with a bus to take her students on a field trip to visit the
museum.
