Disability Is Diversity

Rating

In the article “Confronting Ableism on the Way to Justice,” activist Keith Jones remembers the bias and deficit-based approach he experienced in school: “Being Black and a child with cerebral palsy, or ‘crippled’ as I was called, neither I nor my classmates were expected to put forth any effort to learn. So, little effort was spent on teaching us.” Now, Jones, a leader within the disability rights movement, advocates for disability representation in the broader social justice struggle, including in education because “we can’t have inclusive schools without disability-inclusive spaces and accommodations for learning.”

EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT: A Multicultural Perspective for Serving the Diverse Needs of Young Children, Birth through 8

Rating

The field of child development is expansive, encompassing various theories, practices, and research findings that explain how children grow, learn, and develop. Traditional perspectives on child development often emphasize universal stages and milestones. However, these perspectives can overlook the critical roles that culture, context, and social identity play in shaping development. This textbook aims to fill that gap by exploring child development through a multicultural, anti-bias framework.

Home economics education

Rating

Images of women in the kitchen are a familiar scene in the history of home economics, but what these images don’t show is the important role that home economics played in getting women into higher education. From its inception, collegiate home economics was multidisciplinary and integrative with an emphasis on science applied to the real world of the home, family, and community. It was an academic science designed by women for women. In the first half of the 20th century, these programs prepared women for teaching but also for careers in extension services, state and federal government, industry, restaurants, hotels, and hospitals.

Intro to the 13 Good Learning Principles of Well-designed Video Games

Rating

In 2013, Kurt Squire and Constance Steinkuehler led the "Video Games and Learning MOOC" at University of Wisconsin-Madison. This video series, presented by Learning & Literacy Specialist, James Paul Gee, was a part of that course.

This quick-to-view, accessible video series explores the 13 "Good Learning Principles" found within well-designed video games; these learning principles align precisely with similar beneficial learning principles that are widely embraced within successful classrooms and other educational environments. The series' components were originally identified and discussed in James Paul Gee's book "What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy" (https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781403984531/whatvideogameshavetoteachusaboutlearningandliteracysecondedition).

The videos offer educators of all types that are interested in the learning principles of well-designed games a swift yet comprehensive overview of usable language and pedagogical concepts related to effective games-based learning; this information can be used to spark further research and discussion, or could be utilized to develop new learning pathways and methodologies in libraries and classrooms.

YouTube Video Description: "Video games aren’t just fun, they can be powerful vehicles for learning as well. In this course, we discuss research on the kinds of thinking and learning that go into video games and gaming culture, benefits and drawbacks of digital gameplay, tensions between youth culture and traditional education, and new developments intended to bridge that growing divide."

Leadership Equity Handout

Rating

This resource is an excellent starting point when school leaders consider equity in their school design/philosophy. It briefly explains why equity is so important in school design and provides a few simple actionable steps. Leaders should begin the process of examining their own understanding of who they are and what they believe about equity, the children they serve, and the school community they support, as well as how their beliefs and behaviors connect to determine how they show up in their work.
