Integrating Women's Lives in the K-12 Curriculum Women's Studies faculty and students will share experiences of their K-12 education and discuss ways to incorporate Women's Studies curriculum and pedagogy in K-12 classrooms. Students will discuss the pressures they felt to take up less and less space, physically, emotionally and intellectually (often resulting in an internalization if this pressure by the desire to be thin). In addition, faculty and students will examine the educational experiences that promoted personal growth and academic achievement. They will also discuss specific ways to incorporate Women's Studies-a discipline that places women's lives and experiences at the center of inquiry-into the K-12 curriculum. Stephany Borges, Ph.D., is Lecturer, Women's Studies at HSU and will present, along with Women's Studies students.

EXTENDED SESSIONS: *Experience-Based Teaching: How to Engage Students and Ensure Internalization of Concepts Experience-based teaching-or experiential education-is a powerful instructional technique that is based on learning by doing. We will begin this workshop by building a theoretical foundation for this style of teaching and discuss how it engages students and facilitates internalization of concepts. Participants will have an opportunity to experience the power of this technique for themselves through activities and initiatives that will bring home the theoretical constructs and benefits. We will then explore how this can be applied to educational settings. Time will be given for participants to develop an experience-based lesson plan or curriculum component based on their individual situations. There will be an opportunity for evaluation by fellow participants and the presenter. Participants will walk away with an understanding of this powerful tool, ideas on how to apply it to their situation, and a lesson plan to implement. Tyler Ludlow is currently the director of Humboldt Adventure, which operates a challenge course and other experience-based programs for youth, families, and organizations. He has taught mathematics for a charter school and attended workshops and trainings led by many of the national leaders in experiential education. One of his dreams is to open an outdoor math school where students would learn mathematical concepts through participation in outdoor activities. *Learning and Unlearning the (Dis)Comforting Songs of Hawai'i 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. Kevin Kumashiro, Ph.D., has worked as a teacher and teacher educator in schools and colleges in the United States and abroad, and has facilitated workshops and served as a consultant for schools, school districts, and state and federal agencies.

He is the founder of The Center for Anti-Oppressive Education, located in the Bay Area of California, which develops resources for members of educational communities to challenge different forms of oppression in schools and society.
