After that, the 1988 Education Reform Act introduced the national curriculum which called for a core curriculum that includes three main subjects: English, Mathematics and science along with seven foundation subjects: design and technology, art, music, PE, history, geography and modern foreign language.

  • Summary Of Shame Of The Nation By Jonathan Kozol

    302 Words  | 2 Pages

    In this excerpt from the 2005 nonfiction work, Shame of the Nation, Jonathan Kozol calls out the extreme disparity in regards to standardized testing between white and minority children(which in turn affects dropout rates and affirmative action effectiveness), and elucidates how government-issued standards are not effectively combating the educational conditions in minority-heavy public schools. By utilizing his considerable experience in educational fields, Kozol’s writing appeals dominantly to ethos, in which he carries out by judging educational conditions according to his own life experience and standards. Kozol also subordinately appeals to pathos, through personal anecdotal evidence. To solidify his claims, Kozol also uses extensive data

  • Personal Review Of Other People's Children By Lisa Delpit

    143 Words  | 1 Pages

    One of the reasons I chose to the book Other People’s Children by Lisa Delpit was because I want to be aware of the stereotypes and prejudices this books might uncover that I had and didn’t know I has. Teaching in a DLI program there is big diversity in our school and community. I want to be able to be culturally competent and be able to eliminate my cultural assumptions. I want to be able to understand where my students are and families are coming from so I can adjust my teaching methods and strategies.

  • The Importance Of Ethnic Studies

    979 Words  | 4 Pages

    Ultimately, ethnic studies promote American ideals, create identity, and only create contempt when being constrained from these courses. Ethnic studies should be implemented in schools, because they promote American ideals of diversity, inclusion, and freedom. In a place like America, where diversity is supposed to be the building block of our nation, one would think that different ethnic groups would have the right to study their own identity. Students question this in the film and make claims such as, “Education is so against me that they don’t want me.” Evidently, with the threat of abolishing ethnic studies courses, students feel a lack of inclusion, which defies American values.

  • Racism In Education Essay

    Racism has been a prominent issue in many sectors of society, including education. The education system is supposed to be a level playing field where students from different races can access equal opportunities to learn and excel. However, this is not always the case as racism continues to exist in various forms within the education system. Racism in education can be traced back to the early days of the education system when education was segregated and only accessible to the privileged few. Today, racism in education takes different forms, from unequal access to resources, biased curriculums, to discrimination against students and educators from minority groups.

    It’s unfortunate that even in today’s society that institutional racism is something that happens in the everyday life of many people, especially minorities such as African Americans and Hispanics. Koppelman (2014) defines institutional racism as “establish laws, customs, and practices that systematically reflect and produce racial inequities in American society” (Koppelman, 2014, p. 189). One example of where institutional racism is prevalent is in standardized testing in schools. There has always been a question of whether standardized testing, in particular the SAT’s, have been fair to minority students. Even though the SAT board feels that the test has been researched to include questions that give students from different races and

  • The Best Visual For The Characteristics Of An Inclusive Classroom

    When reading this weeks text, I believe Carole Tomlinson (2014) gave me the best visual for the importance of an inclusive classroom. She wrote “Artful teaching is like a learning triangle. It is an equilateral triangle with the teacher, the kids, and the ‘stuff’ at each corner. If any one of these goes unattended and gets out of balance with the others, the artfulness is lost.” The words are really talking about our art for teaching, but I looked at this quote with a different view.

The researcher’s principles they have presented are meant to diagnose and to be implemented so that diversity through unity can occur. From reading the article, it is assumed the meaning of the researchers is to not diversify the population more or to assimilate all cultures into a common culture. Their purpose is to help schools celebrate the diversity in our nation and promote cultural and equal education for teachers and students, promote better intergroup relations within our schools, to help organize our schools in a better way, and to assess students not in just one way but in diverse ways through summative and formative assessments.

    It is a symbol of respect for all of humanity. It can be argued that inclusive education is about social justice and equity and takes into account learner’s abilities, potential and diverse needs. The learner does not have to adapt to the social system. The school or the education system has to change in order to meet the learning needs of all children in a given community (Kisanji 1999; Armstrong 2005). In other words, inclusion involves restructuring the cultures, policies and practices in schools so that they respond to the diversity of students in their locality (Booth and Ainscow 2002).
