************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2003 16:31:21 EDT From: Bonnie Bracey <BBracey@xxxxxxx> Subject: Helping African American Youth to Quality Education.. To: K12ADMIN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I think this is one of the clearest statements I've seen about what needs to be done to ensure quality education for all African-American children. Gloria Ladson-Billings is a professor in the Department of Curriculum & Instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Senior Fellow in Urban Education of the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University. Her research focuses on successful teaching of African-American children and critical race theory. She is the author of the critically acclaimed book, The Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of African-American Children and numerous journal articles and book chapters. She is the current editor of the Teaching, Learning, & Human Development Section of the American Educational Research Journal. It comes from Gloria Ladson-Billings, whom I find most helpful for effective strategies for classroom teachers to use in educating AA children. http://www.asu.edu/educ/epsl/EPRU/letters_to_editors/cerai-00-05.htm bbracey@xxxxxxx ********************************************************************* WHERE TO GO WHEN YOU NEED GRANT RESOURCES Government Funding Resources Education Grants, Scholarships & Loans, State Agency Phone Numbers for Student Financial Aid, Business Plan Resources for Women, Federal Department of Education Technology Grants ARTS, Grants for Women, Grants for Women & Girls <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Teachers/grants.html> ******************************************************************** <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<> EDUCATIONAL CYBERPLAYGROUND http://www.edu-cyberpg.com <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<> Net Happenings,K12 Newsletters, Network Newsletters, New-list http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/index.html HOT LIST OF SCHOOLS ONLINE http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Schools/default.asp EDUCATION VENDOR DIRECTORY http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/TheMall/Home_TheMall.asp SERVICES http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/PS/Home_Products.html <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>
