Boys, Girls and the Rest of Us

Everyone, whether they are cisgender (body and feelings match) or transgender (body and feeling don’t match), has a gender identity, however, transgender people are said to have Gender Identity Disorder (GID).  Transgender people generally believe that the body (sex) they present to the outside world does not match what they feel (gender) on the inside.  This imbalance often creates social, legal, medical and interpersonal challenges.  The dynamics of sex (biology), gender (feelings), sexual orientation and politics require a critical approach.  Instructor:  Cory Frederick.

Dynamics of Diversity

With regard to diversity, the United States is often considered to be the “the melting pot”.  This is to say that many cultures (ethnic, religious, social class, etc.) have come together in ways that strengthen the fabric of our political, socioeconomic and cultural landscape.  However, while this image of diversity may be picturesque, it is still a difficult picture to paint.  Every day, in schools across the States, cultures collide in a myriad of ways and it is the culturally competent educator who prevails and deftly guides the learning process.  After a brief overview of history and definitions, we will explore cultural diversity issues impacting students and educators in schools.  Participants in this course will learn best practices to address issues that affect everyone involved.  Instructor:  Cory Frederick.

Culture of Violence in Schools

Over the past 50 years, this country has seen escalating violence in its K-12 schools as well as on college campuses including Texas Tech in 1967, Virginia Tech, Columbine and Sandy Hook.  The problem is not only with students assaulting and shooting other students and teachers, but also teachers verbally and physically assaulting students.  This class will examine contributing factors that play into these tragic events by identifying the perpetrator’s profile, known or suspected triggers and what, if anything, can be done to prevent future occurrences.  Instructor:  Aleta Polley.
