Title: Article: Give Latin (and Potential Dropouts) a Chance
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2008/09/22/05woods-com_web.h28.html?tmp=1701786116 Give Latin (and Potential Dropouts) a Chance By Baynard Woods September 22, 2008 Perhaps we can eliminate the most persistent of our achievement gaps by introducing Latin into failing schools with high concentrations of poor and minority students. It can help these students with vocabulary-building, decoding, grammatical understanding, active reading, and metacognitive thinking. And an education in Latin would improve these urban students’ real-world chances of being accepted into good colleges. The introduction and systematic instruction of Latin could thus go a long way in lessening education’s achievement gaps, while also taking aim at society’s power and prestige gaps.

Title: Article on Multiculturalism: Celebrating Students' Diverse Strengths
Body: From http://tinyurl.com/54ahw5 Celebrating Students' Diverse Strengths by Willona M. Sloan February 2008 We all have biases, however subtle they may be. Sometimes we may not even be aware of them. Because we are grounded in our own cultural knowledge, it is very natural to perceive our own customs and cultural practices as normal and those of other groups as different or foreign. As classrooms become increasingly more diverse, it is important for educators to acknowledge and address diversity issues and to integrate multicultural information into the classroom curriculum. By doing so, educators can instill students with respect for their peers while teaching exciting, new content. Read the entire article at http://tinyurl.com/54ahw5 .
