Of course these classes are the general educa- tion classes that the University requires. General education classes have come under review recently by the Faculty Senate and some changes might be in the making. "The topic of general educa- tion has been tossed around at BGSU for a number of years," said Leigh Chiarelort, chair of the faculty senate. Mark Gromko, vice provost of academic programs, said that it is routine for all depart- ments to go through a pro- gram review. Chiarelort said that one of the concerns now is how well general education is orga- nized. As of now students pick from a list of general educa- tion classes.

  • Muslims in America: a Journey in Time from Slavery to Today's Community
    Muslims in America: A journey in time from slavery to today’s community pillars By Radwa Ahmed, 2020 CTI Fellow Waddell Language Academy This curriculum unit is recommended for: ELA & Social Studies Fourth grades Keywords: Tolerance, African, Muslim, slaves, religion, identity, diversity, stereotypes, culture, immigrants, racism, discrimination. Teaching Standards: See Appendix 1 for teaching standards addressed in this unit. Synopsis: In this unit, students will learn about the American Muslim community with a focus on the challenges a highly diverse population brings to our daily lives. This unit aims at shedding light on the importance of adapting a culture of tolerance, as well as embracing the individual differences. It is about learning to appreciate our differences, and finding how these differences strengthen our community rather than tear it apart. Through a variety of fiction and non-fiction novels and articles, students will meet children and young teens who like many of them struggle with maintaining their identity or fading into the surrounding community. Students will also have the opportunity to research their own heritage, through the Family Heritage Project. The project will allow them to discover, reconnect and share their culture with their peers as well as to learn about their classmates’ culture, and finding things in common in order to create strong relationships. I plan to teach this unit during the coming year to 24 students in ELA & Social Studies in Fourth grade. I give permission for Charlotte Teachers Institute to publish my curriculum unit in print and online. I understand that I will be credited as the author of my work.

  • 11Th Grade Summer Reading
    11th Grade AP English Summer Reading 2021 What are arguments and how are they planned, constructed, and communicated? This question will guide much of our work in 11th grade English [AP Language and Composition]. Consequently, I want you to consider the arguments being made in your summer reading books. I also want you to enjoy the books, so allow yourself to become immersed in the stories along the way. You will read two books for English this summer--In Cold Blood and a book of your choice. Of course, you are encouraged to read as many books as you can! The list later in this document includes books that have been specifically selected because of their compatibility with the learning objectives of the course. However, you are free to choose another high-quality book, based on your interests and reading preferences. To assist you in your search for books to read, I have included a few links that offer titles selected by reputable literary organizations. They include a range of texts, both fiction and nonfiction, that should appeal to upper-school students. Because the focus of the 11th grade AP curriculum is primarily nonfiction, however, your second text this summer should be nonfiction, journalistic fiction, or something similar. As always when choosing a book, you may want to consult with your family or friends and read reviews, synopses, and the first few pages of the text. If after beginning a book, you discover that it deals with issues or contains events that trouble you, talk with your family. Remember, too, that you may abandon a book and choose another.

It is normal for a city and a state to embrace someone of significant historical stature to promote their historical significance to the nation and the world and to generate revenue from tourism and to benefit in other ways from the association with the historical figure. In the case of Malcolm, there has been a perpetual debate over recognition. This article discusses the role of Omaha as an important crucible for the context of Malcolm’s birth, and for his parents rearing of him in the “black” liberation tradition. His legacy and the debates over it are central to contemporary discussions in the state and the city about the place of African people: present, past, and future. From the very beginning, any connection between Malcolm and his birthplace was bound to be problematic, not merely from the expected political backlash by those who did not like the man or any of his evolutionary ideological positions and rhetoric, but also because of the nature of the literal encounter with Omaha itself.

This research is best described as a performative inquiry. It is a classroom action research and was conducted over a period of six weeks.

  • From Malcolm Little to Malcolm X to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz-Al-Sabann to Omowale: 7 Degrees of Separation
    From Malcolm Little to Malcolm X to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz-Al-Sabann to Omowale: 7 Degrees of Separation ______________________________________________________________________________ Baba Keita Sipho Thompson Clark Atlanta University Abstract The truths of our beloved ancestor, Malcolm X, are of extraordinary worth and value to black and African people throughout the world—the people whom he loved. Not only are these truths available from which to gain wisdom, but these truths can have significant impact on the lives and experiences of those black and African people who choose to listen and believe them. Introduction …Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death. (Holy Bible ESV, 21:15-17) Understanding that the work of Malcolm was unfinished, leaving a restless world filled with unsettled claims; it is critical that black and African people throughout the world seek the truths of the Egun (ancestors).1 In laying a foundation for the particular research that speaks from Malcolm to his 7 Degrees of Separation, the truths from the Egun will reveal solutions that can be interpreted and considered in implementation of relief of black and African people from oppression in all of its forms, all over the world. In most scholarly research, studies often are categorized with each category focusing on a particular component of the major theory being investigated. In this present work, as categorization is integral to colonization, the valuable information being communicated refuses to be filtered or distilled as Malcolm X was known for making it plain. However, the work of Malcolm is organic.

  • Evaluating the Impact of Interfaith Dialogue Between the Muslim
    EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF INTERFAITH DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE MUSLIM AMERICAN SOCIETY AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE FOCOLARE MOVEMENT, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INDIGENOUS MUSLIM AMERICANS A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Tariq S. Najee-ullah, B.S. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. October 30, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Tariq S. Najee-ullah All Rights Reserved ii EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF INTERFAITH DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE MUSLIM AMERICAN SOCIETY AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE FOCOLARE MOVEMENT, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INDIGENOUS MUSLIM AMERICANS Tariq S. Najee-ullah, B.S. MALS Mentor: John Borelli, Ph.D. ABSTRACT In this age of intense polarization between liberal freedom and political correctness, on the one hand, and the demagoguery of religious extremists and politicians, on the other hand, there is unending argument, strife, and brinkmanship threatening the peace of our civil society. Religion is frequently used to polarize parties instead of bringing humanity together and invoking the better angels of human nature. Rather than helping bring agreement via dialogue, religion is used to create enemies. Religion is being used to wage war and evoke fears instead of establishing peace and building fruitful alliances. Interfaith dialogue represents a meaningful way to bring parties together peacefully in a way that resolves conflicts and creates friendships. Additionally, interfaith dialogue allows for spiritual sharing and spiritual companionship which opens pathways of communication that lead to opportunities for greater mutual respect and shared understanding.

  • BROTHERMAN: DICTATOR of DISCIPLINE” Alumnus Introduces Groundbreaking Black Superhero to New Generations from the PRESIDENT Dear Lincoln University Family
    A MAGAZINE WHERE BEING THE FIRST MATTERS | SPRING/SUMMER 2016 THE RETURN OF “BROTHERMAN: DICTATOR OF DISCIPLINE” Alumnus introduces groundbreaking Black superhero to new generations FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Lincoln University Family, Despite the uncertainty associated with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania budget impasse, Lincoln University has maintained its course as a distinct and exemplary institution of higher learning and had much to celebrate. Throughout the 2015-2016 academic year, the University welcomed the largest incoming class since 2009 and was listed among the Top 20 HBCUs in the country by U.S. World News & World Report. Lincoln’s Baccalaureate Degree program in nursing received accreditation for five years by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and 100% of the 2015 nursing program graduates are Registered Nurses (RNs). Many students gained entrance to medical and graduate schools around the country, received scholarships and internships from multiple sources, presented research, traveled to study abroad and received Scholar Athlete Awards. The Orange Crush Roaring Lions marching band performed at its first Honda Battle of the Bands Invitational Showcase and the Lincoln University Concert Choir traveled and performed in various venues. Alumni have helped Lincoln advance its mission through thoughtful generosity, dedication and commitment. By LEAPS* and bounds and STEM**, the efforts of the faculty of all three Colleges are to be commended. Overcoming challenges by building on our strengths, we reinforced the University’s foundation on which to cultivate an enhanced learning environment for our students. The newly-revised 2013-2018 Strategic Plan incorporated seven strategic imperatives that will help the University achieve its mission.
