  18. Quote from the FAIR act This bill would update references to certain categories of persons and additionally would require instruction in social sciences to include a study of the role and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans, persons with disabilities, and members of other cultural groups, to the development of California and the United States

  19. FAIR ACT • Sharing accurate and inclusive information is a vital step to setting a climate of respect and keeping our schools safe. Schools that perpetuate silence or harmful stereotypes about LGBT people can be breeding grounds for the fear and ignorance that fuel bullying during the early grades and hate violence or even suicide by the time students reach high school. By middle school, studies show that students who are bullied based on actual or perceived sexual orientation feel so unsafe that they skip school and their grades suffer compared to their peers.

  20. FAIR ACT • Accurate depictions of LGBT Americans in classroom materials teach all students to respect each other’s differences, thereby increasing students’ sense of belonging and ability to learn. • Fair, inclusive, and age-appropriate lessons can make LGBT students feel less isolated, improving their ability to stay in school and graduate. SB 48 will improve student safety, reduce bullying, enrich the learning experiences of all students, and promote an atmosphere of safety and respect in California schools.

  21. FAIR ACT • It is supported by the GSA Network and Equality California, and the National Center for Lesbian Rights welcomed its ratification into law.[4] The California Teachers Association's President Dean Vogel stated that “We believe that curricula should address the common values of the society, promote respect for diversity and cooperation, and prepare students to compete in, and cope with a complex and rapidly evolving society. SB 48 does that by helping to ensure that curricular materials include the contributions of persons with disabilities, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans to the development of California and United States

  29. People with Disabilities • Harriet Tubman - Rescuer of Slaves (1820-1913) • Harriet Tubman was a slave born on a plantation in Maryland. When she was thirteen years old she threw herself between a fellow slave and the plantation overseer who was about to whip him. The overseer struck Harriet on the head. For the rest of her life she had a form of epilepsy. When she was 29 Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery and dedicated the rest of her life to rescuing other slaves and to civil rights, including women's suffrage. More information: New York History Net - The Life of Harriet TubmanThe Harriet Tubman Historical SocietyTeacherLinkLesson Plan on Harriet Tubman for 4th-5th gradesElectric Foundry Famous People - Harriet Tubman

  31. Bayard Rustin

  32. Bayard Rustin • So, what do we do with the FAIR ACT? • If nothing else we must look at prominent civil rights figures that were gay such as Bayard Rustin • Civil Rights leader in the inner circle with Martin Luther King Jr. • Rustin became a leading strategist of the civil rights movement from 1955 to 1968. He was the chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom

  33. Franklin D Roosevelt

  34. Franklin D Roosevelt • Due to polio, FDR could not walk unassisted. • If we simply added this to our information about Roosevelt, how empowered would it make disabled students feel?

  35. But is that all there is?

  36. But is that all there is? What about using the transition to common core to also implement FAIR Act?

  37. How can we use Common Core to develop new material that is FAIR Act compliant?

  38. 6-8 grade Reading Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary of the source distinct from prior knowledge or opinions.

  39. 9-10 grade Reading Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary of how key events or ideas develop over the course of the text.

  40. 9-10 grade Reading Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including vocabulary describing political, social, or economic aspects of history/social science.

  41. Primary/Secondary Documents History teachers are already the experts in primary/secondary documents. How can we use them in the FAIR act implementation?

  42. Primary/Secondary Documents Remember documents in this sense include pictures, art, movies, etc.

  43. Primary/Secondary Documents Here is a YouTube clip including footage of the Stonewall Riots.

  44. Primary/Secondary Documents

  45. Primary/Secondary Documents What questions could we ask about the stonewall video?

  46. Performance Accessment Performance tasks challenge students to apply their knowledge and skills to respond to complex real-world problems. They can best be described as collections of questions and activities that are coherently connected to a single theme or scenario

  47. Performance Accessment These activities are meant to measure capacities such as depth of understanding, writing and research skills, and complex analysis, which cannot be adequately assessed with traditional assessment questions. The performance tasks will be taken on a computer (but will not be computer adaptive) and will take one to two class periods to complete.

  48. March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom

  49. National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights
