CHILDREN IN A VIOLENT WORLD: RECOGNIZING CHILDREN
WHO HAVE BEEN ABUSED OR NEGLECTED, AS WELL AS THOSE WHO MAY BECOME
VIOLENT
This workshop will focus on recognizing the
often-subtle signs and symptoms of child abuse and neglect. It
will examine the effects of abuse and neglect on areas such as
social and cognitive development. We will discuss how to predict
which children are most at-risk for perpetrating violence and
aggression in the future. Successful theoretical models and prevention
and intervention programs will be explored in an active discussion-based
format. Films and small-group activities will allow participants
to gain a more in-depth understanding. Participants are encouraged
to bring handouts or tell stories documenting challenges and successes
from their own work with children exposed to violence in the community
or the family. (#95)
DR. TASHA R. HOWE is a developmental psychologist
at Humboldt State University. She teaches courses on both normal

CRITICAL FACTORS IN THE ACADEMIC PERSISTENCE
OF AMERICAN INDIANS IN HIGHER EDUCATION
While 75% of American Indian students in U.S.
colleges and universities withdraw before graduating, participants
in the Indian Teacher & Educational Personnel Program (ITEPP)
at Humboldt State University have an 86% to 92% completion and
retention rate. A comprehensive literature search and 2002 program
evaluation survey support the belief that ITEPP's mission--to
promote Indian self-determination by validating Tribal cultural
values, facilitating academic success, and fostering a sense of
self-efficacy--addresses critical factors in the persistence of
American Indian students in higher education. This session will
review survey results in the context of the current literature.

member of the Karuk Tribe of California with familial and cultural

development and tribal community/economic development. In 2000
she received HSU’s Distinguished Alumni Award and she was

an MA in Education in 2004. In keeping with ITEPP’s mission,
Ms. Burcell is developing strategies for increasing access to
American Indian Education (AIE) courses at Humboldt State. ITEPP’s
Optimum Access Initiative combines one-week intensive courses
with on-line courses in a five-course, 15-unit AIE minor. The
goal is to make the growing array of ITEPP-sponsored courses easily
accessible to regular HSU students with packed schedules, as well
as to community members who may be pursuing professional training
on a part-time basis. In 2003-04, ITEPP introduced 15-unit professional
development certificate programs in American Indian Education
and Tribal Health & Human Services.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE: A DIALOGUE ON THE NEEDS
OF DISABLED STUDENTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION
There are 10,483 disabled students in
the 23-campus California State University System. Nearly 400 disabled
students attend Humboldt State University (HSU). Their day-to-day
challenges may be related to physical limitations, learning disabilities,
miscommunications and/or misunderstandings. In keeping with Humboldt's
emphasis on social and environmental justice, this facilitated
round-table discussion will explore the experiences of faculty,
staff, and students (some of them disabled) in serving disabled
students at HSU. This roundtable discussion will include three
professors, three disabled students, one facilitator, and one
person who will discuss the law and issues regarding disabled
students in the classroom. These issues will include the legal
definition of disabilities, types of disabilities, a brief overview
and history of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and
how the ADA relates to the public school system. The discussion
may include the California law regarding the responsibility of
teachers and schools pertaining to disabled students. Questions
from the audience will be encouraged. The goal is to educate participants
about the laws regarding disability and to give teachers and students
a chance to talk openly about alternative teaching methods for
students with disabilities in order to enhance learning. It will
include an overview of the varieties of disabilities that exist
at HSU, the legal requirements for "reasonable accommodation,"
and practical strategies for facilitating the academic success
of disabled students at state universities. (#162)

ROAR INTO READING WITH BETWEEN THE LIONS
Between the Lions is a television program
on PBS based on a family of lions who run a library like no other
on earth. The doors "between the lions" swing open to
reveal a magical place where characters jump off the pages of
books, vowels sing, and words take on a life of their own. The
only television program endorsed by the National Education Association,
research shows that watching Between the Lions can increase
reading test scores for beginning readers. This workshop will
demonstrate how Between the Lions encourages a love of reading
and helps develop skills using a "whole-part-whole"
curriculum in each program. Participants will leave the workshop
with at least three standards-based activities that can be used
to help K-1 students "get wild" about reading. Finally,
participants will leave knowing how to find additional free or
low-cost teaching resources based on the program. (#17)

How might lessons meant to raise awareness
of cultural "minorities" actually reinforce stereotypes?
This interactive, hands-on workshop examines the strengths and
weaknesses of teaching about differences, versus teaching about
oppression. Participants will experience sample music lessons,
reflect on the discomfort involved in "unlearning,"
and then design and analyze lessons that they can use in their
own classroom when challenging racism, colonialism, and the repetition
of the status quo. (#64)

ZAPATISMO AS POLITICAL AND CULTURAL PRACTICE
This session examines the Zapatista Rebellion
in Mexico, a resistance movement that came to the world's attention
on January 1, 1994. The Zapatista struggle continues to inspire
radical movements and activists throughout the world, not only
because of its substantial political writings, but also due to
its profound achievements regarding inclusion and difference.
After providing a brief background of the Rebellion, the workshop
will focus on Zapatismo as a political and cultural practice.
More importantly, we will examine its applications for community
organizing and popular education. (#164)

divorce and separation, guardianship, single-parent households,
and bullying and harassment. The aim of the session is to support
adults in fostering respect, understanding, health, and safety
among youth in the community. Especially appropriate for school
district administrators who wish to plan staff development workshops
with WEM consultants. (#200)

ORGANIZATIONAL SELF-SUSTAINABILITY: GETTING
OUT FROM UNDER THE DEPENDENCY OF GRANTS AND FUNDRAISING
After a brief overview of the theory of
non-profit organizations and why current history is nudging them
out of existence, we will examine one local case study of a non-profit
that has been nearly 100% self-sustaining for 38 years. We will
discuss the change in mindset, self-perception and organizational
daily activity regarding dependency versus self-sufficiency. The
bulk of the time will be spent brainstorming self-sufficiency
ideas for each of the organizations whose representatives are
attending the workshop. Weather permitting, this class will be
held outside. (#201)
