8. HOW CAN WE IMPROVE SCHOOLS?
WE CAN IMPROVE OUR SCHOOLS WITH
PRINCIPLES OF TEACHER STUDENT
LEARNING.
LET ME TELL YOU SOME TEACHER LEARNING
FIRST.
Principle 1: Professional development programs
should help teachers understand the complex
characteristics of ethnic groups within U.S. society and
the ways in which race, ethnicity, language, and social
class interact to influence student behavior.55
9. Principle 2: Teachers should help students acquire the
social skills needed to interact effectively with students
from other racial, ethnic, cultural, and language
groups.
Principle 3: Schools should provide opportunities for
students from different racial, ethnic, cultural, and
language groups to interact socially under conditions
designed to reduce fear and anxiety.51
10. NOW LET ME TELL YOU SOME STUDENT
LEARNING.
Principle 1: Schools should ensure that all students
have equitable opportunities to learn and to meet high
standards.
Principle 2: The curriculum should help students
understand that knowledge is socially constructed and
reflects researchers’ personal experiences as well as
the social, political, and economic contexts in which
they live and work.59
11. Principle 3: Schools should provide all students with
opportunities to participate in extra- and curricular
activities that develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes
that increase academic achievement and foster
positive interracial relationships.31
12. DIVERSITY WITHIN UNITY
Many of the students entering our nation’s schools
speak a first language other than English. The 1990
census indicated that 14% of the nation’s school-age
youth lived in homes in which the primary language
was not English. In addition to the increase of
racial, ethnic, and language diversity among the
student population, more and more students are poor.
13. The percentage of children living in poverty rose from
16.2% in 1979 to 18.7% in 1998 and more now. The
gap between rich and poor students is also increasing.
While the student population is becoming increasingly
diverse, the teaching force remains predominantly
White, middle-class, and female.
14. In 1996, 90.7% of the nation’s teachers were
White, and almost three quarters (74.4%) were female
according to National Education Association
Research. Consequently, a wide cultural, racial, and
economic gap exists between teachers and a growing
percentage of the nation’s students.
