    An adult ESL curriculum development project : integrating academic effectiveness with a critical orientation
    (2012-05) Joseph, Amy Elizabeth; Horwitz, Elaine Kolker, 1950-; Martínez, Ramón Antonio; De Lissovoy, Noah
    This paper is a curriculum proposal for a mid to high beginner adult English as a Second Language class. It is hoped that this curriculum will prove to meet students’ academic needs, especially in terms of development of literacy, listening skills, and language learning strategies. In addition to this, the lessons include a critical orientation; that is, the class is structured to facilitate student engagement with social issues, namely racism and economic struggles. With these considerations in minds, two units comprising half the semester were developed and relevant extra materials are provided.

    The art of manipulation : gender inequity and the picture study movement
    (2012-08) Kern, Jasmin Nikol; Bolin, Paul Erik, 1954-; Bain, Christina B
    This study locates and examines the relationship between societal gendered expectations in nineteenth century United States and the content of a picture study manual published at the turn of the century: Lucy Langdon Williams Wilson’s Picture Study in Elementary Schools: A Manual for Teachers (1909). Critical analysis of the images, artists, and content of the picture study manual provides insight into the relationship between curricular materials and the social climate during which they were produced. Recognition of this connection will enable art educators and curriculum developers to produce materials and textbooks conscious of the potential bias and marginalization of students.
