Next steps proposed are assessing global education efforts and committing departments to global education goals.
Cultural Changes
Multiculturalism emphasizes the unique characteristics of different cultures, especially in societies with many immigrant groups. It can lead to cultural exchanges, add variety to citizens' lives, and bridge ignorance. However, it also brings anxiety about national identity and disunity. Multicultural education aims to create equal opportunities for all students and transform schools and society to be inclusive of diverse groups. It incorporates content from various cultures and helps students understand multiple perspectives to function in a pluralistic society.

The document discusses diversity and education in New Zealand schools, focusing on Māori and Pasifika students. It notes that Māori, Asian, and Pacific populations are growing faster than European populations. Many Māori and Pasifika students attend low-decile schools and have lower educational outcomes. Effective teaching requires understanding students' cultural identities and worldviews. Teachers must build relationships with diverse families, recognize different cultural capital, and embrace home languages and practices.
Cultural Changes
This document discusses multiculturalism and multicultural education. It defines multiculturalism as the existence of multiple cultural groups within a society due to immigration. Multicultural education aims to create equal opportunities for all students from diverse backgrounds by transforming the school system. It identifies four approaches to multicultural education: contributions, additive, transformation, and social action. The goals of multicultural education are to help students acquire knowledge and skills to function in a diverse society and make decisions to promote democracy. Teachers must consider the five dimensions of multicultural education which are content integration, knowledge construction, prejudice reduction, equity pedagogy, and school culture.
Globalization and Teaching English to Develop National Identity
This document discusses using English education to develop national identity in Sudan. It defines national and ethnic identity, noting they involve shared history, culture, territory, and more. Teaching English impacts identity construction through textbooks. A case study of an 8th grade textbook in Sudan found it largely supported national identity over ethnic identity through topics of common interest, avoiding conflicts, and highlighting national heroes and institutions. While limited in size and students' English levels, the textbook worked to develop students' shared Sudanese identity.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Improving Curricular Diversity
- 1. By Ian G. Morrris
- 2. Understanding Change According to statistics, by 2020 students of color will make up nearly half (46%) of the nation’s school-age youth. According to Newburgh school district our demographics are truly diversified—31% African American, 35% Latino American 2% Asian Amer, 32% white. It is important that all members of our society develop multicultural literacy. I propose to create a class related specifically to multicultural topics and themes.
- 3. Why? Having a class geared specifically toward cultural issues will motivate other teachers and students to implement more diversity into the school-wide curriculum. Creating a required course that highlights diversity will help our school shape a consensus that celebrates a multicultural atmosphere.
