We viewed classmate Trish garcia's blog. Her blog was very informative for me. I was unaware of the website that houses Fort Worth student data.(Great Site!!!!)Received ideas about comparison of two students. research the identity of the child. We spoke about a book title "The Shack". look at ed.gov and view the progression of education in our country since the days of MLK Jr. discussed diversity. Looked at Plessy vs. Ferguson and Brown vs. Board of education. 1972 Emergency School Act, Title 9 and Kathryn Au.
Kathryn Au is currently directing a teacher education program aimed at increasing the number of Native Hawaiian teachers in schools in their own countries. she serves as university coordinator for the Language Arts Standards Network, a partnership with the Hawaaii State Dept. of Ed., assisiting about 90 public schools to improve students' literacy achievement through standards. Kathy's research interest is the school literacy development of students of divers cultural and linguistic backgrounds. She has published over 70 articles on this topic, as well as a textbook, Literacy Instruction in Multicultural Settings.

Plessy vs.Ferguson (1896) is a landmark United States Supreme Court decision in the jurisprudence of the US, upholding the constitutionality of racial segregation even in public accomadations under the doctrine of separate but equal.
Brown vs. Board of Education (1954) was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that declared state laws establish separate public schools for black and white students, denying black children equal educational opportunities unconstitutional.
