Bell, D. (2004). Silent covenants: Brown v. Board of Education and the unfulfilled hopes for racial reform. New York, NY: Oxford University Press.
This journal describes the author Bell acknowledging the difficulty in accepting the critical view of Brown's pragmatism: "Brown has become a legal landmark, an American icon embraced as a symbol of the nation's ability to condemn racial segregation and put the unhappy past behind us" (p. 130). In Chapter 3, Bell offers a provocative alternative decision to Brown, and argues that by upholding the Plessy v. Ferguson "separate but equal" decision, the Court could have encouraged more realistic and beneficial educational results for black students. Bell claims that in his personal evolution and recognized his responsibility to provide black students with an effective education. He offers two suggestions: reducing the disparities in school funding and the revival of alternative types of inner-city schools, such as independent, private, and charter schools and tuition vouchers. Bell cites several cases that have argued the issues of school financing and makes an integral point: "courts generally do not make the connection between unequal funding and race" (p. 163). Again, as was the case around the Brown decision, black students' needs are being compromised, yet little action has been taken to desegregate the funding (p. 161).

Clutterbuck,
In his journal The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, gives an account and history of how the current segregation in schools came to be. He argues that the primary reason for segregation is the government, which has tolerated policies that enhance the same. He goes ahead to give essential data informing us of the rate of prevalence of school segregation in each state. New York makes the list of cities with the highest school segregation practices. The materials also highlight some of the strategies that can be employed to reduce school segregation, which makes it useful for the formation of recommendations.

The author in this article describes dozens of studies how children of color receive less attention in the classroom and have a harder time comprehending the material due to exterior factors. Minority children are usually punished for offenses caused within the classroom or due to behavior. Teachers have been found to hold negative attitudes in regards to their ability, language barrier, potential and personality traits. Most minority children have the least interaction with their teachers opposed to Caucasian children. Small schools and smaller learni ...

Literature Review
It is expected that every student enrolled in high school works hard towards the completion of their high school diploma. However, research indicates there was a 5.4% drop out among the minority groups, in which 6.4% of the overall status dropout rate is that of the male youth. Among the Africans, Hispanics, and American Indian Natives, the dropout rates among the boys are 8%, 10%, and 11.6%, respectively (Musu-Gillette, De Brey, McFarland, Hussar, Sonnenberg, & Wilkinson-Flicker, 2017). These dropouts often join continuation schools later in life with the hope that they will get an equivalent of their high school diploma. The theoretical framework of this research is based on the phenomenological approach, in which the aim is to examine the occurrence of school dropout among minority boys and their performance after joining continuation school.
One of the theories that explain why minority boys drop out of school is the Critical Race Theory. The model argues that education opportunities are often affected by an individual’s race and racism (Colbert, 2017). Based on this theory, minority groups are often faced with issues such as poverty and racial discrimination in schools, which causes some of the male students to drop out of school. Racism victims in school feel inferior to the whites and sometimes feel like they do not deserve a quality education, and they end up falling behind in school.
Cultural production theory, on the other hand, explains why the dropouts choose to go back to school. The theory holds that the education system helps to level out the playing field so that people get equal opportunities to make their lives. The approach provides an essential perspective as to why minority boys dropouts join continuation schools and complete their learning process.
According to Bania, Lydersen, and Kvernmo (2016), non-completion of high school mostly results from different problems, most of which are health-related. In research in which the authors carried out among the youths in the Arctic, they found out that dropout rates were higher among males. Additionally, minority males often drop out due to mental issues. Based on the article, education affects an individual’s employment opportunities and income, as well as the quality of life, which explains why the dropouts choose to join continuation schools later in life.
Hernandez and Ortez (2019) undertake research in which they analyze the experiences of some Latinas who are enrolled in continuation school. Based on the writers’ claims, continuation schools have put in place strategies that enable the students to cope and realize that they have an opportunity to succeed just like any other individual. Additionally, due to the improvement in the prospects for quality education presented to the marginalized groups, the article indicates that there are .

· In education, the term at risk refers primarily to students who are at risk of school failure. As we discussed earlier, at risk actually means much more than flunking reading or math, or even dropping out of school. Yet from an educator’s perspective, educational concerns define at-risk issues. School problems and dropout are linked to many other problems expressed by young people (Suh, Suh, & Houston, 2007; Henry et al., 2009; Rumberger & Ah Lim, 2008). The strong relationships between school difficulties and other problems, as well as evidence that educational involvement is a protective factor influencing resilience (Search Institute, 2006), highlight the pivotal position of schools. In schools, prevention efforts can reach the greatest number of young people; therefore, examining the educational environment is critical.
THE VALUE OF EDUCATION
There are a number of indicators of the value placed on education in the United States. News reports compare the scores of students in the United States and in other countries on tests in geography and spelling, math and science. These reports consistently favor students in other countries. They imply that learning in U.S. schools is somehow not quite up to par. Does a student’s ability to spell reflect his or her ability to think? Does recall of dates, locations, or facts indicate a student’s problem-solving skills? The answer to these questions is “No.” Learning is the act of acquiring knowledge or a skill through observation, experience, instruction, or study, yet these comparisons suggest a view of learning that reduces this complicated act to an isolated and mechanical process. In addition, these comparisons often fail to note that in the United States all children are expected to attend school through high school graduation, not just wealthy or middle-class urban or college-bound students.
How learning is valued is also reflected in the following statistics. In 2000, the average household income was about $55,000 (Census Bureau, 2001). Nearly 10 years later, the average teac ...

HOW MINORITY RECRUITMENT AND ENROLLMENT IS EFFECTIVE ON PREDOMINANTLY WHITE INSTITUTIONS.
INTRODUCTION.
A predominantly white institution refers to an institution of higher learning that mainly comprises of white students and few other races such as African-Americans, Asians and Hispanic. The racial diversity in higher learning institutions across the United States of America is inconsistent since many colleges and campuses tend to be white. Minority and racial recruitment have become significant in general recruitment efforts at many predominantly white institutions. Despite the increased efforts a majority of learning institutions are still unsuccessful in increasing diversity on campus. In predominantly white institutions, it is difficult for foreign students to blend with the white. Most of them are despised, not only by their fellow students but also their teachers. They are never given attention and they are deemed stupid for any concerns they raise in class. This can lead to lower class participation, grades and in some cases even drop outs. This is why it is important for minority students in predominantly white institutions to have a strong support network. We therefore look at look at how minority recruitment and enrollment is now effective on predominantly white institutions.
Some predominantly white institutions have student groups that are dedicated in supporting the foreign students to adjustments. This includes organizations such as Asian Student Association, Black Cultural Society and South Asian Multicultural Organized Students Association. These organizations welcome and support students from other races and also create a network for students to people who remind them of their families. This is essential for a group of students who feel isolated and lack a sense of belonging.
The legal aspect of diversity in higher education system ensures increase in minority groups. The current efforts being made by institutes of higher education to increase diversity on campuses stems from early American segregation. The Supreme Court set legal standards for social conditions. Among them was the separate-but-equal legal standard, also called Plessy v. Ferguson, which was a legal justification for European Americans who attempted to keep the minority illiterate and submissive.
In order to further increased minority enrollment in American colleges and universities, the Supreme Court heard the case of Regents of the University of California v.Bakke in 1978. Bakke who is a student, was denied admission twice to a California medical school despite having better grades and test scores than successful minority applicants. Bakke was among the first to present grievances about affirmative action to court. Bakke clai.

Disproportionate Representation of African American
Students in Special Education: Acknowledging the
Role of White Privilege and Racism
by Wanda J. Blanchett
This article places the problem of disproportionate representation of
African American students in special education in the context of the
White privilege and racism that exist in American society as a whole.
The author discusses how educational resource allocation, inappro-
priate curriculum and pedagogy, and inadequate teacher preparation
have contributed to the problem of disproportionate representation.
More important, she argues that remedies designed to address the
disproportionality challenge must place the aforementioned structural
forces at the center of education research, policy, and practice.
Ithough the field of special education was formed on the
heels of the Brown decision and applied rhetoric and
tactics from the Civil Rights Movement, the dispropor-
tionate referral and placement of African American students in
special education has become a discursive tool for exercising White
privilege and racism. First, African American students are dispro-
portionately referred to and placed in the high-incidence special
education categories of mental retardation, emotional or behavioral
disorders, and learning disabilities (Zhang & Katsiyannis, 2002).
Second, once labeled as having disabilities and placed in special
education, African American students make achievement gains and
exit special education at rates considerably lower than those of
White students identified as having .

Log: Immigration, Race, and Oppression
Immigration, race and oppression are critical in the education of children. Among the main principles that need to be taught about immigration are immigration, the effects of immigration to the giving and receiving country, and the challenges immigrants face in the new countries. Contemporarily, immigration cases are high, especially in Europe and North America, due to increasing human crises such as hunger, wars, and political instability in their home countries. Apart from relocating to new countries due to human crises, immigrants immigrate to employment and better education. Their native countries are at risk of losing skilled human resources. To the countries receiving immigrants, they have to battle with an economic burden to meet the basic needs of the immigrants.
On the other hand, race denotes the classification of human beings based on their shared physical and social traits. Racism is a result of different race races. In American society, the race is pervasive. Many people are denied access to important social services such as education and health (Wilderman and Wang, 2017). In schools, it is common for black students to be suspended from schools than whites due to racism. Racism limits the opportunities of racial minority groups. They have less opportunity to excel in life, and some usually drop out of school. Oppression is the unfair treatment of certain members or groups in society. It is a result of differences that exists among the people.
Indeed, the cases of immigration have increasingly become high, and at the moment, immigration in itself is a crisis. Globally, many countries are experiencing political instabilities while others face the threat of terrorism. Consequently, terrorism and political instability are among the leading causes of immigration in different places. Also, while immigrants move in search of improved living conditions, they often meet numerous obstacles in foreign countries. The obstacles include continued marginalization from the native citizens. As highlighted, they have to strain to make ends meet or surrender to oppression in the new countries. The challenges immigrants face are similar to those faced by racial minorities. They are forced to li ...

Consider your past experiences either as a student, early child care professional, or teacher. Describe a creative episode similar to the two boys who found a frog in the text (Creativity and the Arts with Young Children, p.309), when the teacher (maybe you) seized the opportunity (the teachable moment) to inspire the children to branch out using their imagination, creativity, and interests. Why do you think this was such a memorable moment?
WHAT WAS OBSERVED?
Two boys were exploring the outdoors and found a small frog. The teacher recognized their high interest and determined that this was an appropriate topic for a study. Their experience in nature provided the interest and stimulus for a long-term project on frogs. The teacher demonstrated her belief that this study could not only include informational learning but also be enriched by the use of the arts. She didn't know a lot about frogs, so she joined the children in looking for information about them. Stories provided the content for the drama about frogs, and the music selection encouraged listening and moving to the “frog music.” A group mural was created through the collaboration of several children, who created visual representations of the frog's environment. Another group of children investigated building a habitat for the frog in their classroom aquarium. All of the children were involved in active learning and used methods that matched their interests. At the conclusion of the study, the children shared their learning by making a giant book about frogs, creating a song about frogs, and demonstrating the development of the frog aquarium that emulated its outdoor environment. Finally, they returned the frog to its home, which led to their understanding that it needed to live in its natural habitat.

HOW MINORITY RECRUITMENT AND ENROLLMENT IS EFFECTIVE ON PREDOMINANTLY WHITE INSTITUTIONS.
INTRODUCTION.
A predominantly white institution refers to an institution of higher learning that mainly comprises of white students and few other races such as African-Americans, Asians and Hispanic. The racial diversity in higher learning institutions across the United States of America is inconsistent since many colleges and campuses tend to be white. Minority and racial recruitment have become significant in general recruitment efforts at many predominantly white institutions. Despite the increased efforts a majority of learning institutions are still unsuccessful in increasing diversity on campus. In predominantly white institutions, it is difficult for foreign students to blend with the white. Most of them are despised, not only by their fellow students but also their teachers. They are never given attention and they are deemed stupid for any concerns they raise in class. This can lead to lower class participation, grades and in some cases even drop outs. This is why it is important for minority students in predominantly white institutions to have a strong support network. We therefore look at look at how minority recruitment and enrollment is now effective on predominantly white institutions.
Some predominantly white institutions have student groups that are dedicated in supporting the foreign students to adjustments. This includes organizations such as Asian Student Association, Black Cultural Society and South Asian Multicultural Organized Students Association. These organizations welcome and support students from other races and also create a network for students to people who remind them of their families. This is essential for a group of students who feel isolated and lack a sense of belonging.
The legal aspect of diversity in higher education system ensures increase in minority groups. The current efforts being made by institutes of higher education to increase diversity on campuses stems from early American segregation. The Supreme Court set legal standards for social conditions. Among them was the separate-but-equal legal standard, also called Plessy v. Ferguson, which was a legal justification for European Americans who attempted to keep the minority illiterate and submissive.
In order to further increased minority enrollment in American colleges and universities, the Supreme Court heard the case of Regents of the University of California v.Bakke in 1978. Bakke who is a student, was denied admission twice to a California medical school despite having better grades and test scores than successful minority applicants. Bakke was among the first to present grievances about affirmative action to court. Bakke clai.

Disproportionate Representation of African American
Students in Special Education: Acknowledging the
Role of White Privilege and Racism
by Wanda J. Blanchett
This article places the problem of disproportionate representation of
African American students in special education in the context of the
White privilege and racism that exist in American society as a whole.
The author discusses how educational resource allocation, inappro-
priate curriculum and pedagogy, and inadequate teacher preparation
have contributed to the problem of disproportionate representation.
More important, she argues that remedies designed to address the
disproportionality challenge must place the aforementioned structural
forces at the center of education research, policy, and practice.
Ithough the field of special education was formed on the
heels of the Brown decision and applied rhetoric and
tactics from the Civil Rights Movement, the dispropor-
tionate referral and placement of African American students in
special education has become a discursive tool for exercising White
privilege and racism. First, African American students are dispro-
portionately referred to and placed in the high-incidence special
education categories of mental retardation, emotional or behavioral
disorders, and learning disabilities (Zhang & Katsiyannis, 2002).
Second, once labeled as having disabilities and placed in special
education, African American students make achievement gains and
exit special education at rates considerably lower than those of
White students identified as having .

Log: Immigration, Race, and Oppression
Immigration, race and oppression are critical in the education of children. Among the main principles that need to be taught about immigration are immigration, the effects of immigration to the giving and receiving country, and the challenges immigrants face in the new countries. Contemporarily, immigration cases are high, especially in Europe and North America, due to increasing human crises such as hunger, wars, and political instability in their home countries. Apart from relocating to new countries due to human crises, immigrants immigrate to employment and better education. Their native countries are at risk of losing skilled human resources. To the countries receiving immigrants, they have to battle with an economic burden to meet the basic needs of the immigrants.
On the other hand, race denotes the classification of human beings based on their shared physical and social traits. Racism is a result of different race races. In American society, the race is pervasive. Many people are denied access to important social services such as education and health (Wilderman and Wang, 2017). In schools, it is common for black students to be suspended from schools than whites due to racism. Racism limits the opportunities of racial minority groups. They have less opportunity to excel in life, and some usually drop out of school. Oppression is the unfair treatment of certain members or groups in society. It is a result of differences that exists among the people.
Indeed, the cases of immigration have increasingly become high, and at the moment, immigration in itself is a crisis. Globally, many countries are experiencing political instabilities while others face the threat of terrorism. Consequently, terrorism and political instability are among the leading causes of immigration in different places. Also, while immigrants move in search of improved living conditions, they often meet numerous obstacles in foreign countries. The obstacles include continued marginalization from the native citizens. As highlighted, they have to strain to make ends meet or surrender to oppression in the new countries. The challenges immigrants face are similar to those faced by racial minorities. They are forced to li ...

The overwhelming similarities between the articles are perception of identity through self-focus or self-identity through culture. Mulvaney tells us “truth is socially constructed through language and other symbol systems” (Mulvaney, 222). And as an example, it was just such self-focus that landed Galileo in jail by asserting that the universe was sun-centered as opposed to earth centered. The people of that time had socially constructed their own truths based on their perceptions of that time, although we now know that both were incorrect. It was from this perception of correctness that power was assumed and asserted by the majority, which in this case led to Galileo’s arrest (Mulvaney 2004).
Jandt touches on an interesting fact regarding existentialism, the idea of the “other” and the idea that both the observer and the observed are changed in the process. He states, “that the observer is not independent of the observed; the observed is in some sense “created” or changed or both by the act of observation” (Jandt, 212). It is from this dynamic that Jandt speaks of that we can see the formation of societal roles, i.e. the roles of those in positions of power and those in a subservient roles.
The interesting culmination of the information from all three articles is that the process is not a stagnant one, but rather one that can, and often times does change. Through introspective analysis, asking ourselves the question “Who am I?” we can embrace our cultural differences and through the acceptance of our individual qualities can take back some of the power that was perhaps lost (Jandt, 210). For example, take the labels “Feminist” and “Gay” along with “queer” and “Chicano,” which were certainly negative when created, have been transformed into positive labels embraced by those within each perspective community (Jandt 2004).

100 word response to the followingBoth perspectives that we rea.docxvrickens
100 word response to the following:
Both perspectives that we read referenced Hofstede’s work. Merrit and Helmreich focused closely on Hofstede’s principles of individualism and power distance. They studied how American flight crews differed in these areas from Asian flight crews. The American flight crews proved to have much more individualism than the Asian, although power distance perceptions were mixed between pilots and flight attendants, with the flight attendants perceiving more power distance than the pilots (in Jandt, 2004). Aldridge also focused on individualism and power distance, with regards to the American culture. It is Aldridge’s thesis that it is the idea of the “natural rights of man” that underpins American culture (in Jandt, 2004, p.94). The natural rights of man are a value that is espoused by a culture with high individuality and low power distance. If man has natural rights, then he is an independent being, and in order to value all men, we must have a lower perception of the distance between those of high status and those with lower status.
I enjoyed both perspectives. I felt that the aviation study was very strong, as they were careful to make sure that they accounted for cultural differences in their measurements. I agree with the authors that although they confirmed some sociological theories and demonstrated that flight crews tend to follow their cultural norms, the study is likely skewed. In order to understand how different flight crews behave from standard Asian social norms, the surveys would have to be done from an Asian perspective and even then, there is not just one Asian culture, so that should be taken into account. We likely miss many of the subtle differences between Asian flight crews and their home culture, by not having a sensitive test to that culture.
My main complaint about Aldridge’s perspective is a lack of strong comparison to other cultures. I felt that the argument that American culture is strong based on our belief in natural human rights would have been better served by showing more comparison to other cultures that also espouse this value and/or to cultures that clearly do not. The comparison to Nazi culture was a start, but one that gets kind of old after a while, and is not a culture that is as current as I would prefer in a comparison.

100 word response to the following:
The point that Penetito is trying to make is that it is important for indigenous cultures to survive. He uses the case of the education of the Maori in New Zealand as an example to exhibit the declining influence of the culture because of the influence of the more dominant British culture. Penetito strengthens his argument by referencing problems that come with colonization and the negative on natives, most notably, the educational system. By attacking this one issue and using facts about the culture to enrich the discussion helps to focus his message that cultures being dominated is a bad thing. The Maori educational system has been moulded to fit the mainstream framework rather than a Maori one (Jandt, 2004, p. 173) and this creates many of the problems and contributes to the extinction of culture. He could use other examples of how colonizing countries leads to the destruction of less important areas of indigiounous cultures such as dress, language, or food in order to strengthen his arguments about the educational systems. The lack of attention in the educational field is having lasting effects on Maoris living in New Zealand and any more information he could use to support this would be important to know. Also examples of educational systems in other colonized countries, to compare and contrast them to New Zealand's would also help to influence readers. He references a report done by the Ministry of Maori Development which states that, "disparities between Maori and non-Maori in a variety of economic sectors such as employment and income" (Jandt, 2004, p. 181). The Maori are just an example of one culture that is fighting for survival out of many. The problem is that through colonization, diversity dwindles. Penetito's writing is valid for all endangered languages because all cultures can use it as a template and useful knowledge for preserving their cultures before they are completely gone.

I would like to ask a provocative question, or two.
Given that all of the indigenous languages in the USA are on the brink of extinction, should there be federal funding to protect these languages and these cultures?
Along the same lines, what do you think of English-only initiatives? Do these aid or hurt American culture?

Culture has many different meanings anywhere from historical perspectives to behavioral perspectives to different traditions that have been passed down from generations to generations.
Levi Strauss was interested in structuralism which he defined as “the search for unusual harmonies” (pg 1 Jandt). “There are many more human cultures than human races”, human cultures are counted by the thousands and human races are divided up by units.
The collaboration between cultures is trying to compare the old world with the new world. “No society is intrinsically cumulative. Cumulative history is the way of life of cultures and how they get a long together. All cultural contributions are divided into two groups; isolated acquisitions or features, the features are important but at the same time they are limited. The second group is systemized contributions which is how each society has chosen to express human aspirations. According to Strauss the true contribution of a culture is its difference from others.
Geert Hostede looks at business cultures and states that culture may be divided into four categories symbols, heroes, rituals and values. “Understanding people means understanding their background from which their present and future behavior can be predicted”. There are also four national cultural differences: 1.power distance-the population from equal to extremely unequal 2. Individualism -people have learned to act as individuals rather than in a group 3.masculinity- assertiveness or masculine values prevail over the feminine ones 4.uncertainty avoidance- people in a country prefer structured over unstructured situations.

Our culture is something that has been ingrained in us from an early age, and is largely unconscious. Levi-Strauss says that while certain biological traits were selected for us in the beginning of evolution, as soon as culture came into being, those biological traits were influenced by the dynamics of culture (Jandt, p. 6). Essentially, we are not able to separate ourselves from culture, and to do so would be to ruin what is wonderful and unique about each culture. According to Hofstede, all cultures have their processes, and their values. While things like symbols and rituals in a culture vary greatly, he says; “Values represent the deepest level of culture. (Jandt, p. 9)”
Because culture is deeply ingrained in us, all of the variants that Levi-Strauss and Hofstede discussed must be taken in account when dealing wit.

Between the Baroque and Rococo era, according to Getlein in Living with Art 2010, Rococo is a development and extension of the baroque style. Rococo is not only a play on the word baroque, but also French for rocks and shells. Rococo is known for its ornate style and several points of contrast. Baroque on the other hand was an art of cathedrals and palaces (Getlein p. 397). The Mirror Room of the Amailienburg in Nymphenburg is a great example of the Rococo style of art with its gentle pastels, overall intimacy, multiple mirrors and its illusion of the sky and with that baroque is large in scale and rococo is lighter. According to Getlein p. 398, Rococo architecture first originated in France but was soon exported, some examples of this type of art are found in Germany. Hall of mirrors on page 392 by Charles Le Brun is an example of baroque art, it is a more intense piece of work that is more vibrant and energetic vice the lighter decoration s used in The Mirror Room.

The Renaissance covered the period from 1400 to 1600, which brought numerous changes that included new techniques in art, the way art was viewed, and how people viewed themselves. The term renaissance means "rebirth" and it refers to the renewal of interest in Roman and Greek cultures. During the period scholars who called themselves humanists believed in the pursuit of knowledge and striving to reach their full creative and intellectual potential. This new way of thinking had many impacts for art during this period. Artists became interested in observing the natural world and studied new techniques on how to accurately depict it. Various techniques were developed such as the effect of light known as chiaroscuro; noting that distant objects appeared smaller than nearer ones they developed linear perspective; seeing how detail and colored blurred with distance, they developed atmospheric perspective. (Getlein page 361) The nude also reappeared in art, for the body was one of God's most noble creations; an example of this can be seen in figure 16.8 the statue of David, by the artist Michelangelo. (Getlein page 368) The primary difference between the Renaissance and the prior period of time was that artists were no longer viewed craftsmen, they were now recognized as intellectuals. (Getlein page 362)
The Northern Renaissance developed more gradually than in Italy. Northern artists did not live among the ruins of Rome nor did they share the Italians’ sense of a personal link to the creators of the Classical past; thus affecting the focus and characteristics between the two cultures. (Getlein page 374) Renaissance artists in northern Europe focused more on small details of the visible world, such as decoration or the outer appearanc.

Unlike the Egyptian culture that created statues of themselves as gods and pharaohs. Muslims did not worship false idols or statues so no pictures or statues or gods are present in their mosques. According to Geitlein (2010), “The Qur’an contains a stern warning against the worship of idols, and in time this led to a doctrine forbidding images of animate beings in religious contexts” (p. 410). Instead the Muslims of the Islam culture used geometry and plants to design buildings, like the Egyptian pyramids, Muslims built beautiful mosques with grand designs. Islam became a world religion, like Christians, they needed a place of worship and prayer. They also used fine textiles, sun dried brick, and ceramics to create their designs. An example would be the popular Cordoba mosque of Spain. A lot of mosques use the arch and dome technique like that of the Romans and Byzantine architecture. Arabic script also became popular and appeared inside the mosque temples. Islam used calligraphy as art and to illustrate writing. Egyptians were also big on scripting but theirs was called hieroglyphics, which not only had letters, but pictures were a big part of their writing system as well. The Egyptians didn’t technically worship false idols at all times, at some times they had statues created of themselves but there wasn’t really a religion in Egypt until the one god religion began there. Egypt gave you a visual of the life and world of Egypt, Islam leaves it more up to the imagination with no pictures of what any of the past history looked like.

Realism was a mid to late 19th century movement in which artist should represent the world at it is regardless of artistic and social understandings. Realist were seeking to free art from social regulation and depicting how society shapes the lives of people (Little, page 80).
In his Fur Traders Descending the Missouri, American-born George Caleb Bingham a self taught artist and the first major painter to live and work west of the Mississippi River illustrates the realism of life for a French trapper and his son on the Missouri River hunting from a dugout canoe. The painting is simple to understand, it represents the calmness of a time to me when life was simple.
Abstract Expressionism was a movement that got its start following World War TWO. Developed in New York and often referred to as the New York School or Action Painting it is characterized to depict universal emotions.

The prosecutor is getting feedback from local law enforcement officers explaining that they are discouraged from making arrests in cases of domestic violence and child abuse. They claim that they have been either not making arrests in domestic violence situations or arresting both parties when they go out on a call. It seems that abused women often go back to the abusers, and children who get removed from the homes where they have been abused often return after removal. These occurrences have been especially demoralizing to law enforcement.
One of your jobs in working as a victim witness assistant is to help educate law enforcement on the nature and behaviors involved in domestic violence and child abuse. The prosecutor’s office has decided that you should present each of these topics for the next training session:
Topic 1: Domestic violence:
Your goal is to educate law enforcement to use best practices in the investigation of domestic abuse cases. Include the following topics:
How to approach a domestic violence situation when responding to an emergency call
when the parties should be separated
how to interview parties
what information needs to be in the report and why
how best to help a victim
what laws protect victims, including the use of protection orders
why victims return to abusers
length of time it may take to stay away from their abusers
Arrests
the legal standard needed to make an arrest in a domestic violence case
What evidence should be collected at the arrest?
Are dual arrests effective law enforcement?
how to assist domestic violence victims
reluctant victims
help for victims
Topic 2: Child Abuse:
Your goal will be to educate law enforcement about the dynamics of abuse and neglect cases. Include the following topics:
signs of child abuse and categories (physical, sexual, emotional)
difference between abuse and neglect
legal description of neglect
use of guardian
ad litems
the legal standards that must be met in removal from the home
termination of parental rights
requirements of Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)
role of court-appointed special advocates (CASA) in child abuse and neglect cases
role of social services in abuse and neglect cases

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

and the unfulfilled hopes for racial reform. New York, NY:
Oxford University Press.
This journal describes the author Bell acknowledging the
difficulty in accepting the critical view of Brown's pragmatism:
"Brown has become a legal landmark, an American icon
embraced as a symbol of the nation's ability to condemn racial
segregation and put the unhappy past behind us" (p. 130). In
Chapter 3, Bell offers a provocative alternative decision to
Brown, and argues that by upholding the Plessy v. Ferguson
"separate but equal" decision, the Court could have encouraged
more realistic and beneficial educational results for black
students. Bell claims that in his personal evolution and
recognized his responsibility to provide black students with an
effective education. He offers two suggestions: reducing the
disparities in school funding and the revival of alternative types
of inner-city schools, such as independent, private, and charter
schools and tuition vouchers. Bell cites several cases that have
argued the issues of school financing and makes an integral
point: "courts generally do not make the connection between
unequal funding and race" (p. 163). Again, as was the case
around the Brown decision, black students' needs are being
compromised, yet little action has been taken to desegregate the
funding (p. 161).

The author in this article describes dozens of studies how
children of color receive less attention in the classroom and
have a harder time comprehending the material due to exterior
factors. Minority children are usually punished for offenses
caused within the classroom or due to behavior. Teachers have
been found to hold negative attitudes in regards to their ability,
language barrier, potential and personality traits. Most minority
children have the least interaction with their teachers opposed
to Caucasian children. Small schools and smaller learning
communities have been installed in larger facilities in urban
communities in order to increase graduation rates and lower
dropout rates.

3. This journal describes tracking within the educational system.
Tracking also known as phasing or streaming is a system in
which students are divided into their classes based on their
overall achievement. The spectrum that they are ranked on
consists of: average, normal, or below average. Tracking has the
overall goal to place students in classes to provide the education
catered to their needs and their basic understanding of the
English language. Tracking represents a unique form of
segregated schooling and recent trends in urban areas may be
creating hundreds of segregated and unequal schools and
frustrating the dream of minority families for access to
education that is equal and excellent. Social class segregates the
local schools in that they are reserved for low income children,
many of whom are immigrants and members of minority groups.

This study discusses some statistics from an educational
standpoint where it shows from the 2000 census data, 72% of
the Black population over 25 years old has graduated from high
school and 14.3% have graduated from college. While it is
apparent that black students living in an established, integrated
suburban area usually outperform other black students residing
in urban schools and less affluent neighborhoods. This ranges
from grades, test scores and course taking practices. African
Americans are disadvantaged in these three ways: (a)
structurally by having limited access to valued resources
outside of schools, (b) institutionally by being positioned
systematically in the least advantaged locations for learning
inside schools, and (c) ideologically by having their intellectual
capacity questioned and their cultural styles devalued both
4. within schools and in the broader social discourse. These
disadvantages are key ingredients that contribute to racial
achievement disparities generally, and, particularly, within
suburban contexts.

correlated with occupation for both races, even though it's less

of the population drain financial support when they move out of
the district in sizable numbers, the few whites and sizable black
and minority populations that remain are generally less able to
fund the public-school system through property taxes and
special tax levies. With the erosion of the school district’s
financial base comes a diminution in ratios may rise and become
more difficult to attract more qualified teachers and the
problems proliferate.

This article explains desegregation. There is viable data that
proves a substantial amount of American schools that are non-
white educate 1/6 of the nation's black students and 1/4 of the
black students in the Northeast and Midwest. These schools are
often called apartheid schools because they have enormous
poverty, limited resources, and many social and health problems
of many types. Latino children are the most segregated
minorities within the educational system. Latinos have remained
segregated due to demographic changes in the population and
limited legal and policy efforts targeted to increasing
desegregation for Latinos. Latino students still have, until
recently, been consistently isolated from white students then the
average black student. The average Asian student attends the
most integrated schools of the minorities, Native American
students attend school on average in which half the student
body has white and their exposure to black students is lowest
among all racial groups.

Palardy, Rumberger, and Butler, in their article “The Effect of
High School Socioeconomic, Racial, and Linguistic Segregation
on Academic Performance and School Behaviors," they point
out the effects of school segregation on performance and
formation of behaviors within students. Due to segregation
based on financial aspects, there have occurred schools that are
poorly infrastructure-endowed and hence having low education
quality. Inherently, this causes the production of students with
less knowledge and qualification in the current labor market.
Consequently, due to frustrations, they end up engaging in
crime and develop a negative attitude towards the favored
6. cohorts. The reading is useful because it was written recently
hence more accurate and relevant to the current generation.
Perhaps the journal concludes by suggesting that inclusivity is
the only thing that will cure the consequences of segregation.

Trends and consequences of school segregation is an article
written by Reardon, and Owens in review of the changes that
happened in American schools since the brown case. He notes
that the most significant decrease in the level of school
segregation based on racial and financial statuses of the
students was witnessed towards the offset of the 1960s. they
note that regardless of the definition used to describe
segregation, changes in the level of school segregation in the
recent past is insignificant. Compared to the 1990s, the two
major causes of segregation today are finance and districts. The
reading is useful because it provides extra information on
factors that are currently influencing segregation trends which
include residential segregation, litigation and demographic
dynamics.

Rosiek is a professor at the University of Cambridge, working
under the department of education studies. In his article "School
segregation: A realist's view," Rosiek talks about the existence
of racial segregation among American schools and, in
particular, New York. He argues that racial school segregation
has exhibited a form that is not only hard to identify but also to
eliminate. The segregation is enforced through school choice,
7. housing policies and zoning. This has led to division of schools
into two; schools of the rich consisting of the majority, and
schools of the poor consisting of the poor and minority. It is
noteworthy that the majority are whites and minority blacks.
This is a credible source for research because it provides useful
information on factors that form the basis for segregation in
New York.

This study speaks about students living in impoverished
neighborhoods for multiple generations and that has affected
education. These students living in these areas are more than
less likely to study due to adequate housing and have a higher
rate of absenteeism. read Children in impoverished
neighborhoods are surrounded by more crime and violence and
suffer from greater stress that interferes with learning and will
start the remediation process where these types of classes will
be the norm. The study included that ‘‘the parent’s environment
during [her own] childhood may be more important than the
child’s own environment.’’ He calculates that ‘‘living in poor
neighborhoods over two consecutive generations reduces
children’s cognitive skills by roughly eight or nine points on the
IQ test which is equivalent to being left back one or two grades
behind. Wealth also influences children’s early expectations
that they will attend and complete college. White middle-class
children are more likely to prepare for, apply to, and graduate
from college than black children with similar family income.

year white and Asian pass rates were above the state average on
both exams and grades whereas Black, Hispanic, and American

This article is describing how Students of color tend to group
together under conditions of racial isolation as a means toward
decreasing racial stigma and vulnerability to stereotypes as the
author describes a same-race grouping of black students in a
predominantly white context enables students to gain validation,
resist stereotypes, and develop culturally affirming identities.
By contrast, white students tend to group together when they are
accustomed to segregated white environments. Factors for
schools and universities should include patterns of admissions
and retention for students of color; and state and institutional
contexts and policies, which are key indicators or signals to
students’ about whether or not they are welcome on a particular
campus. For example, a lack of institutional commitment to
diversity as signaled by banning consideration of race in
admissions has a “discouraging effect” on the application
9. during the enrollment process from minority students.

This article describes how the public education system is failing
its children and promoting racial inequality. The average Black
and Hispanic student at the end of high school has academic
skills around the eighth-grade level. There are several statistics
and facts that prove Asians have the best results academically
opposed to other minorities in regards to their education and
stress of certain grades being acceptable or unacceptable as
education is a top priority in their household. The authors point
out that the Black-White gap emerges before children even enter
school, noting, “This is a gap that appears very early in the life
of Black children; something about the lives of these children is
limiting their intellectual development” whether it be parental
practices, single-parent households, or low-birth weight. The
solution to the gap is changing the family culture.

The research conducted by Walsemann examined the extent of
within school segregation, it was measured by unevenness of
black and caucasian adolescents across all English curriculum.
The research was an analytic cross-sectional study with multiple
schools’ Black students that attended schools that were racially
mixed or predominately white schools were more likely than
white children to be assigned to less rigorous academic work
even if they have no learning disabilities and their abilities are
10. in comparison to the other students. This study restricted its
sample size to only non-Hispanic males n=2731) and whites
(n=4158). The total analytic sample consisted of 6889
adolescents dispersed across the 47 schools (density=27-472
students for the entire sample, 10,243 male students, and 14,229
female students). Johnson and Hoffmann found lower rates of
smoking initiation among Black students, but not White
students, attending predominantly minority schools Hoffmann
also found lower odds of drinking in predominantly minority
schools, but only for female students. Schools similar to the
ones described can create stereotypes and be marginalized by
their fellow peers and faculty thus causing same-race
relationships and a safe haven for a sense of belonging. Within
school segregation may affect a student’s aspirations and goals
and their social behaviors partaking in smoking and drinking.

Introduction
The Brown vs. Board of Education trial in 1954 was a landmark
case that deemed racial segregation of schools in the United
States to be unconstitutional (Brown v. Board of Ed, 1954).
Sixty years later, segregation in NYC public schools has
become a growing trend.
“Out of 895 slots in Stuyvesant High School’s freshman class,
20. only seven slots were offered to Black students” (Shapiro,
2019)
Household income and educational funding appear to have been
the driving forces of this trend.

Unresolved Problem
Despite the national and local efforts for social and cultural
integration, public schools in NYC, the biggest school district
in the country, are now more segregated today compared to
when segregation was legal.
Within the last decade (2010-2020), segregation driven by
household income and funding formula has become so prevalent
that it has caused a public outcry which has prompted
policymakers to search for a proper solution.

Research Goal/Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the level of
household income and funding formula used to allocate
resources to schools across the city contribute to the
resegregation of public schools in New York City.
5
JACK
Subproblems
Household income affects the type of neighborhood that a
family lives in that determines which public school their
children attend.
The funding formula used by school districts determine the
amount of resources allocated to each New York City public
school.

Jack
Research Questions
What effect has household income had on resegregation of
public schools in NYC within the past ten years?
In what ways does the funding formula used by the city
contribute to resegregation of public schools in NYC?

LEONG
Hypotheses
H1: Children from low-income households located in minority
concentrated neighborhoods are more likely to attend segregated
public schools in NYC.
H2: Public schools located in minority-concentrated
neighborhoods are likely to receive less funding per student
23. compared to public schools located in majority white
neighborhoods.
H0: There is no relationship between household income and
resegregation in NYC public schools.
H0: There is no relationship between the funding formula and
public school resegregation in NYC public schools.

Nature of the Problem
Magnitude
School resegregation is a socioeconomic issue that not only
affects the quality of education children receive based on where
25. they attend school, but has also had far reaching implications in
areas pertaining to social equity and social harmony.
Timeliness
Lack of meaningful integration has always been a concern for
policymakers, but the level of school resegregation seen in the
past decade has caused loud public outcry.
