24. Tools For Teaching - Chapter tools for Teaching. Diversity and Complexity in the classroom Considerations ofRace, Ethnicity, and Gender. From the hard copy book tools for Teaching by http://teaching.berkeley.edu/bgd/diversity.html

Diversity and Complexity in the Classroom: Considerations of Race, Ethnicity, and Gender [From the hard copy book Tools for Teaching by Barbara Gross Davis; Jossey-Bass Publishers: San Francisco, 1993. Linking to this book chapter from other websites is permissible. However, the contents of this chapter may not be copied, printed, or distributed in hard copy form without permission.] Since the 1960s and the rise of the civil rights movement, American colleges and universities have been engaged in an ongoing debate about how best to enroll, educate, and graduate students from groups historically underrepresented in higher education: women, African Americans, Chicanos and Latinos, Native Americans, American-born students of Asian ancestry, and immigrants. As enrollment statistics show, changes in both the demographics of the applicant pool and college admissions policies are bringing about a measure of greater diversity in entering classes (Levine and Associates, 1990). There are no universal solutions or specific rules for responding to ethnic, gender, and cultural diversity in the classroom, and research on best practices is limited (Solomon, 1991). Indeed, the topic is complicated, confusing, and dynamic, and for some faculty it is fraught with uneasiness, difficulty, and discomfort. Perhaps the overriding principle is to be thoughtful and sensitive and do what you think is best. The material in this section is intended to help you increase your awareness of matters that some faculty and students have indicated are particularly sensitive for women and students of color. Some of these problems affect all students, but they may be exacerbated by ethnic and gender differences between faculty members and their students.

But these packable objects could prove invaluable as teaching materials. 1. Family Photos. Any beginner-level class will involve a unit on the family, and using examples from your own family will be far more interesting to students than a lesson from a textbook. Be sure to bring photos of extended as well as nuclear family so you can use them to demonstrate words such as "niece," "brother-in-law," or "aunt." Before you leave home, consider taking some photos to a copy shop to blow them up to the size of 8x10 and then laminate them. This will make it easy for your students to see them during a classroom presentation, plus they will be more durable if laminated. 2. Postcards from Home.

Squeeze Bottles Everywhere We've all known for a long time about soap and shampoo bottles that can be put to use in the classroom holding glue, water, whatever . Having just started wearing contact lenses, we've discovered another: the cleaning solution bottle. Smaller in size than soap bottles, with a flip top cap that won't get lost, these are great for glue, but you may want to use a small drill bit or a red-hot nail to make the hole larger. Anyone who wears contact lenses goes through this solution regularly, so have them save the bottles for you.

T he T eaching E xchange Sept 2002 SHERIDAN HOME THIS ISSUE ISSUES INDEX ARTICLES INDEX Sheridan Center Introduces a New Seminar Series: Classroom Tools ALYSSA E. LODEWICK Classroom Tools Seminar (Teaching Certificate II program) is founded upon the belief that employing a variety of teaching tools allows instructors to engage the intellects of a wide range of students. It will explore a series of pedagogical tools that college and university instructors may wish to implement in their classrooms in order to reach the broadest possible learning population. The new seminar will be composed of five individual sessions, each of which will last approximately ninety minutes. Each session will: define and explain a particular pedagogical tool or set of tools; demonstrate how the particular tool(s) may be applied in the classroom; and discuss how instructors may assess the impact of the tool(s) upon student learning. In all Classroom Tools sessions, participants will be given the opportunity to debate the strengths, shortcomings, and potential classroom value of each tool considered. The Sheridan Center would like to emphasize that its new seminar will not focus upon how to construct the different tools; instead, the sessions will stress how to implement the tools in a pedagogically-valid manner. For example, instead of learning how to build a course Web site, participants will learn how to use a Web site to enhance their teaching effectiveness and increase student learning.

Printer Friendly Classroom Tools 03/10/2003 Interview Teaching Ethics and International Affairs (#1) 03/10/2003 Interview Teaching Ethics and International Affairs (#2) 03/11/2003 Interview Teaching Ethics and International Affairs (#3) Teaching Ethics and International Affairs Post-9/11 This article summarizes the findings of a series of interviews with seasoned teachers of ethics and international affairs. (Follow links at left for full interview text: #1= Chris Brown of LSE; #2 = David Clinton of Tulane University; and #3 = Al Pierce of the U.S. Naval Academy.) Note: This article appeared in the Council's 2003 Yearbook/Annual Report , under the heading "The Carnegie Council Is Thinking about Classroom Tools." Carnegie Council staff recently spoke to David Clinton of Tulane University, Chris Brown of the London School of Economics, and Al Pierce of the U.S. Naval Academy, all of whom are seasoned teachers of ethics and international affairs. We asked them whether they had noticed any kinds of changes in their students, or made any changes to their teaching methods and materials, in the wake of 9/11. All three noted that priorities in the field of international affairs had shifted in response to that event. As Clinton put it, "there has been an element of redistribution within the field of international ethics. Perennial questions like human rights or distributive justice, at least for the immediate term, have been less emphasized than questions having to do with security and the role and justifiability of force." Brown concurred, adding the recent world events had raised some really interesting questions, such as: when is violence justified, can we adjust "just war" criteria to fit anti-terrorist campaigns, how do we handle situations where non-state actors are operating out of states (as in the Afghan case)?

The Slinky, like all objects, tends to resist change in its motion. Because of this inertia , if placed at the top of stairs it stays at rest. At this point it has potential or stored energy . But once it is started down the stairs and gravity affects it, the potential energy is converted to the energy of motion or kinetic energy and the Slinky gracefully tumbles coil by coil down the stairs. Physical properties of the Slinky determine how quickly it moves under the influence of gravity . Although its movement may look simple, from a scientific point of view the motion is quite complex.
