The Power of Multicultural Education Fostering Inclusivity and Diversity in S...Birtikendrajit
Multicultural education is vital for fostering inclusivity and celebrating diversity in schools. It involves integrating diverse perspectives into teaching and learning, promoting understanding, respect, and equity among students. By exposing students to various cultures, histories, and perspectives, multicultural education enhances critical thinking, prepares students for a globalized world, and creates inclusive learning environments where all students feel valued and respected.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Culturally responsive teachingPresentation Transcript
1. CULTURALLY-RESPONSIVE TEACHING
2. What is Culturally Responsive Teaching?“It is an approach that empowers students
intellectually, socially, emotionally, and politically by using cultural referents to impart
knowledge, skills, and attitudes”-Gloria Ladson-Billings
3. Culture is central to learning. It plays a role not only in communicating and receiving
information, but also in shaping the thinking process of groups and individuals. A
pedagogy that acknowledges, responds to, and celebrates fundamental cultures offers full,
equitable access to education for students from all cultures. Culturally Responsive
Teaching is a pedagogy that recognizes the importance of including students' cultural
references in all aspects of learning (Ladson-Billings,1994).
4. characteristics of culturally responsive teaching are: Positive perspectives on parents
and families Teacher as Facilitator Reshaping the curriculum Student-centered instruction
Culturally-mediated instruction Foster a sense of belonging Sharing Cultures
5. POSITIVE PERSPECTIVES ON PARENTS AND FAMILIES Parents are the child's
first teacher and are critically important partners to students and teachers. To help parents
become aware of how they can be effective partners in the education process, teachers
should engage in dialogue with parents as early as possible about parents' hopes and
aspirations for their child, their sense of what the child needs, and suggestions about ways
teachers can help. Teachers explain their own limitations and invite parents to participate
in their child's education in specific ways.
6. TEACHER AS FACILITATOR Within an active teaching environment, the teacher's
role is one of guide, mediator, and knowledgeable consultant, as well as instructing with
a smile. Teachers should develop a learning environment that is relevant to and reflective
of their students' social, cultural, and linguistic experiences. They act as guides,
mediators, consultants, instructors, and advocates for the students, helping to effectively
connect their culturally- and community-based knowledge to the classroom learning
experiences.
7. RESHAPING THE CURRICULUM The curriculum should be integrated,
interdisciplinary, meaningful, and student-centered. It should include issues and topics
related to the students' background and culture. It should challenge the students to
develop higher-order knowledge and skills. Integrating the various disciplines of a
curriculum facilitates the acquisition of new knowledge. Students' strengths in one
subject area will support new learning in another. Likewise, by using the students'
personal experiences to develop new skills and knowledge, teachers make meaningful
connections between school and real-life situations
8. STUDENT-CENTERED INSTRUCTION Student-centered instruction differs from
the traditional teacher-centered instruction. Learning is cooperative, collaborative, and
community-oriented. Students are encouraged to direct their own learning and to work
with other students on research projects and assignments that are both culturally and
socially relevant to them. Students become self-confident, self-directed, and proactive.
9. CULTURALLY-MEDIATED INSTRUCTION Instruction is culturally mediated
when it incorporates and integrates diverse ways of knowing, understanding, and
2. representing information. Instruction and learning take place in an environment that
encourages multicultural viewpoints and allows for inclusion of knowledge that is
relevant to the students. Learning happens in culturally appropriate social situations; that
is, relationships among students and those between teachers and students are congruent
with students' cultures.
10. FOSTER A SENSE OF BELONGING There is an ongoing dialogue with students,
parents, and community members on issues important to them, along with the inclusion
of these individuals and issues in classroom curriculum and activities. For new students
or students who seem isolated, a teacher can assign a buddy who will help them to feel at
home.
11. SHARING CULTURES Multiculturally sensitive education does not solely prescribe
to mainstream ways of knowing. Teachers make authentic knowledge about different
ethnic groups accessible to students. For example, the verbal creativity and storytelling
that is unique to some African Americans in informal social interactions is acknowledged
as a gift and used to teach writing skills. Teach students to know and praise their own and
other's cultural heritage.
Culturally Responsive TeachingPresentation Transcript
1. Culturally Responsive Teaching Final Group Project Broward College - Educator
Preparation Institute 0030 Diversity - Ms. Hall April 23, 2009 Group Members: Susan
Convery Foltz Mia Montalegre Elizabeth McDonald
2. We live in a culturally diverse world
3. And a culturally diverse country…
4. And we work in a culturally diverse community...
5. How do we teach our children in a culturally sensitive environment?
6. What is Culturally Responsive Teaching? “ It is an approach that empowers students
intellectually, socially, emotionally, and politically by using cultural referents to impart
knowledge, skills, and attitudes” -Gloria Ladson-Billings
7. If you see in any given situation only what everybody else can see, you are said to be
so much representative of your culture that you are a victim of it" - S.I. Hayakawa
former US Senator from Hawaii
8. How do we become culturally sensitive teachers? Acknowledge the legitimacy of the
cultural heritages of different ethnic groups, both as legacies that affect students'
dispositions, attitudes, and approaches to learning and as worthy content to be taught in
the formal curriculum.
9. How do we become culturally sensitive teachers? Communication of High
Expectations: There are consistent messages , from both the teacher and the whole
school, that students will succeed, based upon genuine respect for students and belief in
student capability.
10. How do we become culturally sensitive teachers? Use a wide variety of instructional
strategies that are connected to different learning styles.
3. 11. How do we become culturally sensitive teachers? Instruction is organized around
low-pressure, student-controlled learning groups that can assist in the development of
academic language
12. "As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation,
so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit." -Unknown
13. Teacher as Facilitator Within an active teaching environment, the teacher's role is one
of guide, mediator, and knowledgeable consultant, as well as instructing with a smile.
14. Teacher as Facilitator Employ active teaching methods. Instruction is designed to
promote student engagement by requiring that students play an active role in crafting
curriculum and developing learning activities.
15. Reflective Teaching Reflective teachers are alert to their own preconceptions and
open to new ways of thinking. Uncover your own beliefs
16. Reshaping the Curriculum A reshaped curriculum is culturally responsive to the
background of students. Teachers should know the cultural heritage of their students and
include references in the curriculum. A Culturally Responsive Curriculum does not rely
on one-time activities, "add-on" units or "sprinkling" the
traditional curriculum with a few minority individuals
17. Reshaping the Curriculum A Culturally Responsive Curriculum is authentic, child-
centered, and connected to the child's real life. It employs materials from the child's
culture and history to illustrate principles and concepts
18. Reshaping the Curriculum Build bridges of meaningfulness between home and school
experiences, between curriculum and social reality.
19. Reshaping the Curriculum Incorporate multicultural information, resources and
materials in all subjects routinely taught in schools.
20. Reshaping the Curriculum Students are given the opportunity to control some portion
of the lesson, providing teachers with insight into the ways that speech and negotiation
are used in the home and community.
21. "Culture is the sum of all the forms of art, of love, and of thought, which, in the
course of centuries, enabled man to be less enslaved" -Andre Malraux
22. Classroom Activities Activities to increase cultural sensitivity: Autobiographical
writing assignments Oral presentations on students' native countries Discussing current
events from a multicultural viewpoint.
23. Classroom Activities More activities to stimulate cultural sensitivity: Organizing ESL
students to provide peer tutoring to other students studying their native language
Organizing a cultural bazaar to showcase student cultures with the larger community.
Participating in a school talent show to share culturally unique skills and dances.
24. Classroom Appearance Classrooms should be filled with photographs and artwork
representing the wide range of humanity and daily life.
25. "Be what you is, not what you ain't. 'Cause if you ain't what you is, you is what
you ain't" - Luther D. Price
26. Foster a Sense of Belonging There is an ongoing dialogue with students, parents, and
community members on issues important to them, along with the inclusion of these
individuals and issues in classroom curriculum and activities.
27. Foster a Sense of Belonging For new students or students who seem isolated, a
teacher can assign a buddy who will help them to feel at home.
4. 28. Foster a Sense of Belonging "Each friend represents a world in us, a world
possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is
born." - Anais Nin
29. Sharing Cultures Teach students to know and praise their own and other's cultural
heritage.
30. Sharing Cultures Multiculturally sensitive education does not solely prescribe to
mainstream ways of knowing. Teachers make authentic knowledge about different ethnic
groups accessible to students. For example, the verbal creativity and storytelling that is
unique to some African Americans in informal social interactions is acknowledged as a
gift and used to teach writing skills.
31. Sharing Cultures Christmas, Kwanzaa, Easter, Yom Kippur, Passover, Hanukkah, St.
Lucia Day, Chinese New Year, Songkran, Aboakyere, Midsummer Day, O-bon, Basanth,
New Year, Holi, May Day... There are many holidays in the world. In a culturally
responsive curriculum students will learn about many different holidays and traditions.
32. Sharing Cultures Culturally responsive teaching enables students to be better human
beings and more successful learners.
33. Culturally Responsive Teaching is Empowering "Give a man a fish and he eats
today; teach a man to fish and he eats for the rest of his life." -unknown
34. Culturally Responsive Teaching is Transformative It means respecting the cultures
and experiences of various groups and then uses these as resources for teaching and
learning. It appreciates the existing strengths and accomplishments of all students and
develops them further in instruction.
35. Culturally Responsive Teaching is Transformative Culturally sensitive education
empowers and transforms students by helping them to develop the knowledge, skills and
values needed to become social critics who can make reflective decisions and implement
their decisions in effective personal, social, political and economic action.
36. Culturally Responsive Teaching is Transformative Multicultural education guides
students in understanding that no single version of "truth" is total and
permanent.
37. Culturally Responsive Teaching is Transformative The validation, information and
pride generated by multiculturally sensitive education are psychologically and
intellectually liberating.
38. "There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of
these is roots, the other, wings." -Hodding Carter
