A Day Long Conference on Diversity

“The Power of Diversity Education: Charting the Course to Educational Equity, Valuing Our Cultures, Achieving Academic Excellence and Social Justice.”

11:15 -12:15 PM Morning Break-out Sessions I - VII

[pic]

I. Setting the Groundwork for a Critical Pedagogy Towards Social Justice

Presenter: Dr. Lisa Carvallo

11:15 – 12:15 PM, 304 HT

Using the case of Latino students, the presenter will briefly discuss theories of Latino academic achievement before moving on to a more detailed exploration of critical theory. Hegemony, or the power the dominant sociocultural class holds over subordinate groups (Gramsci, 2002), is shown to occur as a result of common practices in daily life. Control and power remains with the dominant group because all members of society have been indoctrinated into believing that class position is natural, or reified (McLaren, 2003).

Educational systems often reproduce hegemonic conditions through practices or teaching methods that shape the subjectivity of students to mirror that of the larger society. One example is the tracking of minority or poor students into low trajectory tracks. This practice limits discourse and results in the reproduction of class structures found in society (McLaren, 2003).

As teachers, we have an opportunity to facilitate a learning environment in which students can question the prevailing social order through a critical pedagogy that is “relevant, critical, and transformative” (McLaren, 2003). However, there are no magical teaching methods (Bartolomé, 2003). Instead, it is the constant reflection of sociocultural realities identified within the methods that allow teachers to reinvent instructional materials that cultivate critical thinking.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, and time permitting, work in small groups to discuss issues.

II. Traditional and Non-traditional Family Orientations

Presenter: Dr. Charlotte Twombly

11:15 – 12:15 PM, HT 400

This will be a presentation of an “ideal typology” (polar type analysis) of family patterns focusing on traditional versus non-traditional family patterns. Since our students represent these two different types as well as a mixture of these types, understanding these diverse orientations will enable us to be more effective instructors.

III. The Digital Divide in the Classroom

Presenters: Dr. Uche Abanulo and Professor Craig Mogren

11:15 – 12:15 PM, HT 406

The use of computers in almost every classroom in this modern age of rapid technological development is inevitable. However, what is even more inevitable is the apparent divide in computer literacy between students in each classroom, especially in a diverse, open-admissions college such as Montgomery College. Some of our students were born into homes with a computer in each room, while others, at the other end of the spectrum, never used a computer before attending Montgomery College. Between these two classes are students who are first-generation computer users, and learned basic computer skills in school, but never got any support at home. The fascinating and relevant notion is how this division in our classes changes. The demographic differences in our population have correlated with who may be comfortable with computers and the language of computers. However, the digital divide is so confounded between class, race, income, age, and where you grew up, that it seems less like the wide Mississippi than the tangled Delta. Many great equalizers like cell phones and the internet, mean that a priori assumptions could easily be wrong. We may have students who understands the course material, but cannot do the computer assignment. We certainly need to acknowledge that our students may be way ahead of us in the current use of computers.

With all these students thrown together in one classroom, how do we maintain a well balanced learning environment in our classroom? How do we ensure that the less computer literate student is brought to the required technological level for the course, without making them feel overwhelmed? How do we keep the more technologically advanced student challenged in the course without having the rest of the class fall behind. We propose to present a practical approach to dealing with the extremes of computer literacy in a classroom. We intend to use a classroom format that requires all of the “students” to use a computer program that they have not seen before. In this scenario, we will exemplify some of the problems and ways of dealing with them using student groups, feedback, and assignment structure.

IV. Unintentional Bias: Why Good Intentions Are Not Enough And What To Do About It

Presenter: Mr. Bob Greene

11:15 – 12:15 PM, HT 401

Have you ever witnessed or, perhaps, experienced, a situation in which one party is surprised that another found a statement or action racist? The speaker may honestly say, "I didn't mean anything by it,” yet the hurt remains. In the modern workplace and educational environment, most people abhor racism and, yet, such challenging situations still occur. One factor is the presence of unintentional bias. This is not the same thing as active, conscious and deliberate prejudice. Unintentional bias is internalized through socialization and is typically unexamined. Understanding unintentional bias opens the door to learning, communication, and relationship-building. This session will explore the dynamics of unintentional bias and provide practical tips for avoiding the awkward, “I didn’t mean it that way” moments and constructively coping when they do happen.

V. Student Knowledge Bases and Deeper Learning

Presenter: Dr. Kranidis, Rita

11:15 – 12:15 PM, 402 HT

In keeping with the event’s focus on celebrating diversity, Writing in the Disciplines would like to deliver a presentation on writing assignments that call on students’ experience, personal knowledge and backgrounds.  A way of integrating students’ existing knowledge and critical thinking skills, such assignments acknowledge students as rich resources for classroom learning and teaching, and not as blank slates.  Examples of such assignments will be provided, some of which were created by WID faculty fellows.

VI. Panel Discussion: In Their Own Voices: Hispanic-Latino(a) Heritage Month

Moderator: Ms. Maria Carrasquillo

11:15 – 12:15 PM, HT 403

Officially the Hispanic/Latino(a) Heritage Month. This gives us an opportunity to celebrate 22 nations from Mexico through Central and South America and over to Spain, in Europe. Many nations, ethnicities, traditions and histories share the Spanish language, while the Brazilians speak Portuguese and indigenous languages are widely found. Come find out how our panelists, your College and County colleagues, describe their lives and cultures.

VII. Surviving College: Developing Numerical Literacy for Equitable Academic Success

Presenter: Dr. Roseli Ejzenberg and Mr. Saul Goldberg

11:15 – 12:15 AM, 404 HT

College students often experience difficulty processing college-level academic lectures and taking notes that are conducive to academic success. Empowering them as note-takers and critical thinkers are necessary steps to achieving greater equity. The presenters will share a few strategies to optimize students’ in-class experiences and long-term retention of academic material. Particular attention will be devoted to strategies that develop numerical literacy skills. Practical suggestions will be shared. A handout with sample activities, websites and instructional sources will be distributed.

2:30 –3:30 PM Afternoon Breakout Sessions VIII -XII

VIII. Embedding General Education Competencies in Courses

Presenter: Professor Samantha Streamer-Veneruso

2:30 –3:30 PM, 304 HT

What does it mean to be an educated person in today’s global world? What is the role of our individual courses in helping students be educated participants in our diverse society? Join us as we explore, through hands on activities, examples and discussion, Montgomery College’s chosen General Education Competencies, how they fit into our individual classrooms and their importance in helping our students achieve academic excellence. In addition to learning about MC’s Gen Ed Competencies, we will explore easy ways of giving students the opportunity to learn and practice selected competencies through assignments and feedback.

IX. Multicultural Education as Staff Training Imperative

Presenter: Ms. Laura White

2:30 –3:30 PM, HT 402

Employees at every level, in a college serving both a multicultural community and many international students, need intercultural competencies for effective workplace teamwork and great customer service. Several programs of the Center for Professional & Organizational Development are designed to support staff in gaining the requisite skills, for example: “Community Conversations,” the “In Their Own Voices” series, and Certificate Program courses in Multicultural Education. Participants in this workshop will engage in an interactive experience that demonstrates the MC staff development approach.

X. The Use of Games to Motivate and Teach Students

Presenter: Andrew J Ryan

2:30 –3:30 PM, HT 403

My presentation style encourages group participation, from the use of index cards to solicit information, embedded questions as part of instruction, custom interactive content used in instruction, and creating a space which promotes interaction amongst participants.

[pic]

XI. Eliminating Educational Racial Disparities in Schools

Presenter: Ms. Donna Graves

2:30 –3:30 PM, 404 HT

There is consensus in the research that to ensure equity and excellence in schools, educator must understand the potent force that race and institutionalized racism exert on teaching and learning. Educators must continually strive to answer three essential questions if persistent racial disparities in student achievement are to be eliminated. In this interactive session participants will discuss these three essential questions and engage in learning activities designed to surface unconscious institutional biases and stereotypes that are at the root of low expectations and inequitable education. Opportunities for personal reflection of hidden and unintended personal bias will be provided. Participants also will view and discuss a segment from the Race: Power of an Illusion videotape series which describes how the creation of segregated suburban neighborhoods after World War II institutionalized racism in housing that persist today. Participants will discuss the ways housing policies continue to benefit white people from a racist system that has negative consequences for student achievement.

[pic]

XII. The Critical Liberation of White Women—What Are We Fighting For?

Presenters: Ms. Beth Applegate & Ms. Eryca Kasse

2:30 –3:30 PM, HT 406

Workshop focuses on the development of personal and professional liberation strategies for white women addressing racism and equity in academia. Too often white women do not effectively partner and build coalitions in their work to dismantle oppression. The dynamics of internalized dominance and internalized subordination result in unnecessary competition and conflict—wasted energy that could be directed to creating liberation and social justice. In this interactive session participants will explore current behaviors and attitudes that create barriers to synergistic collaboration and will identify components of critical liberation practice. The goal is to intentionally create partnerships that consistently model the core elements of social justice that they espouse. They will depart having identified, if they choose, a learning partner to promote accountability and continued learning.

The Journey from Stereotypes to Cultural Affirmation

Keynote Speaker- Dr. Larry Vold

Biography: Dr. Larry Vold serves as Coordinator of the International Student/Faculty Exchange programs for the College of Education at Indiana University of PA (IUP). These exchange programs began in 1981 when he established a student teaching abroad program with public schools in England and in the greater London area. The Student Teaching Abroad Program has expanded to include placements in the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Spain and Jamaica. In 1995, under his leadership, IUP was the first U.S. Higher Education institution to join the European Teacher Education Network (ETEN) and has served as the institutional representative to the present.

He is a successful grant writer and consultant. He has received a Fulbright-Hayes Group Projects Abroad Grant which took educators to Nigeria, and two FIPSE Grants. Dr. Vold is currently working to develop a proposal for Annenberg funding. He has both published and presented many scholarly papers at professional international conferences in European countries and Cuba as well as national and regional conferences in the U.S. including: AERA, AACTE, ATE, NEERO, NAME, NSSA and ETEN.

Another major area of interest for Dr. Vold is the preparation of teachers for racially diverse and low socio-economic inner city children in urban schools. He is the coordinator of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PSSHE)’s “Initiatives in Urban Teacher Education Program” for the fourteen institutions in the State System and for six other universities within the state, including Pennsylvania State University. . The program has grown to 20 institutions, placing 500 students in inner city Philadelphia schools. In March of 2008, he chaired the first statewide PASSHE-sponsored Urban Education Conference. Students, faculty, public school teachers and administrators presented their research and personal perspectives on their involvement in the “Inititiatives in Urban Teacher Preparation Program”. Preparing Urban Teachers Collaboratively in Philadelphia: Practices, Research and Reflections” which he co-edited is the result.

In summary, Dr. Vold’s professional career has focused on his general beliefs that stem from a Progressive Education Philosophy of Dewey that one learns best from doing and from addressing real issues of concern to the individual and the society. He has been a strong proponent of field-based programs, experiential learning, cultural exploration and enrichment and global understanding. He has also functioned on the belief that cooperative learning strategies produce the best results. His record of professional presentations, publications, and successfully funded grants are testament to that philosophy and belief.
