10 Things Teachers Should Never Do When Teaching Native Kids. Who Are You Calling Underprivileged? - Diversity in Academe 2014. By Natasha Rodriguez I have come to loathe the word "underprivileged. " When I filled out my college applications, I checked off the Latino/Hispanic box whenever I was asked to give my ethnicity. My parents in turn indicated their income, hoping that we would qualify for financial aid.
But while I waited for acceptances and rejections, several colleges I was considering sent me material that made me feel worthless rather than excited about attending those institutions. The first mailing I received was a brochure that featured a photograph of African-American, Asian, and Latino teens standing around in a cluster, their faces full of laughter and joy. The title of the brochure was "Help for Underprivileged Students. " The text went on to inform me that, since I was a student who had experienced an underprivileged life, I could qualify for several kinds of financial aid and scholarships.
I had never been called that before. What does "underprivileged" actually mean? Cmoeinc. AEA - American Evaluation Association : Statement on Cultural Competence in Evaluation.

Blog - Project 562- A Photo Project by Matika Wilbur documenting Native America. PROJECT 562 had an INDIAN SUMMER I realize it has been way too long since I’ve wrote.
It is not because I didn’t think of you. You, (my supporter, my friend, my ally), you are always on my mind. Let me tell you, I’ve remained hard at work. I am “in the trenches”, as they say. However, I am excited to stop for a moment and reflect. My Indian summer hosted a whirlwind of creation…. In late July, I had the rare opportunity to interview and photograph John Trudell in San Francisco. One of my favorite quotes from that day was when John was talking about the direction he’d like to see us move toward, he said, “It really is time that we return to being human… because that is our spirit.
Later that afternoon, we did a photo-shoot in his neighborhood, here is one of my favorite shots: Pictured in the photograph are John and his son Coup. Pull Canoe We ventured toward the Olympic Coast in Washington State to photograph the 2013 Canoe Journey. YellowTail I loved being on the ranch! The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper. Native American Image in Children’s Literature. Presently, discussions continue to occur about Native American image in the United States and Canada. These include how Native American Indians/Alaska Natives are represented and portrayed in film*, as sport mascots, and in literature.
If you are the parent of young child, or a K-12 educator, perhaps you have been concerned about how Native American Indians/Alaska Natives are presented in some children’s books. Perhaps you been concerned about the consequences of inadequate representation in some these purportedly educational resources. If so, you may be interested to learn about the American Indians in Children’s Literature (AICL) organization and the resources it provides. Established in 2006 and operated today by Debbie Reese (Nambe Pueblo), the AICL provides critical perspectives and analysis of indigenous peoples in children's and young adult books, the school curriculum, popular culture, and society. Diversity Never Happens: The Story of Minority Hiring Doesn’t Seem To Change Much | Editorial. African Americans and Hispanics are some of the strongest supporters of libraries, and yet they continue to be thinly represented among the ranks of librarians.
It’s a familiar story and always a bad trade-off that hurts the profession and, more important, hurts our society. Statistical analysis in LJ’s Patron Profiles as well as the latest study from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project shows that race and ethnicity are “significant independent predictors of people’s attitudes about the role of libraries in communities, about current library services, and about their likely use of future library services.” For example, LJ’s Patron Profiles report released in August 2012 showed that blacks and Hispanics are much more likely on a monthly basis than whites to access free Wi-Fi, borrow DVDs, use library computers, download audiobooks, check out games, and make use of a library bookmobile.
They are somewhat more likely to download an ebook and attend a library event. To Publish Dedicated Issue on Diversity. SLJ’s April 2009 cover. Illustration by Gene Luen Yang. “Straight Talk on Race” declared the headline of a powerful feature story in School Library Journal (SLJ), written by author Mitali Perkins, with the subhead and subtext of the piece urging librarians and teachers to critically examine the stereotypes in literature for children.
That piece ran on our cover back in 2009, yet the issues around representation persist. The paucity of kids’ books by and about people of color has, in fact, remained relatively unchanged for decades, according to recent reports. This despite the fact that the U.S. has grown increasingly diverse, with the population of young children under age five reaching 49.9 percent minority in 2012. Beyond “kid lit,” the lack of diversity, not only racial, has broader implications within education and libraries, challenging the core missions at the heart of these institutions: equity of learning opportunities, especially for children, and equal access to information. Making Differences Matter: A New Paradigm for Managing Diversity. The Idea in Brief You know that workforce diversity is smart business: It opens markets, lifts morale, and enhances productivity.
So why do most diversity initiatives backfire—heightening tensions and hindering corporate performance? Many of us simply hire employees with diverse backgrounds—then await the payoff. We don’t enable employees’ differences to transform how our organization does work. When employees use their differences to shape new goals, processes, leadership approaches, and teams, they bring more of themselves to work. How to activate this virtuous cycle? The Idea in Practice The Integration Paradigm The integration paradigmtranscends assimilation and differentiation—promoting equal opportunity and valuing cultural differences.
Example: A public-interest law firm’s all-white staff’s clients are exclusively white. Additional suggestions for achieving integration: 1. 2. 3. Why should companies concern themselves with diversity? Role of diversity in leadership team | Mentors Guild. Your question reminds me of a project I was on 35 years ago as a junior consultant. We were hired to explore the role a COO should have for a multidivisional company. The division presidents experienced him as too controlling--good for when he was brought in and the company needed a turnaround; overkill for the current situation. With my fresh MBA, I found the bulk of the evidence in favor of getting a new COO. Fortunately, the partner in charge saw the problem more deeply. That the entrenched culture--especially around the CEO's style--would recreate the same situation if we'd just replaced the COO.
In order for a more strategic COO to work, the CEO needed to get less etherial, and there were a few role changes required for the rest of the management team as well. Moral of the story: as noted by others above, see if you really need strategic perspective...or it's just something you feel like you need but aren't truly committed to.

World Libraries: Using the Ghanaian Journal Research Review as an Example for Demonstrating Access to African Research and Scholarship. Using the Ghanaian journal Research Review as an example for demonstrating access to African research and scholarship Lorna Peterson Abstract: Reports the results of bibliographic searching, indexing and citation analysis of the Ghanian journal Research Review for defined elements of barriers to access. Barriers to the dissemination of information are defined as: lack of indexing, lack of abstracting, lack of abstracting in a culturally relevant way, lack of a culturally relevant thesaurus, lack of holdings/purchasing by European and North American libraries, lack of citing indigenous African authors publishing in indigenous journals, and lack of preservation of originals for long term access. Results from searching WorldCat and RLIN indicate that Research Review is held by 48 libraries in North America and Europe.
