Being open to any manufacturer allows many builders and sail makers to compete and so keep costs to a minimum. The Class remains aware to keeping development under control, maintaining a good balance between cost and performance. Corrected crew weights allows fairer racing with more ladies involved as helms and crews. IF18CA measures hulls, hull appendages, rigs and sails which are required to conform to IF18CA standards, such boat parts only being altered to stay in line with current IF18CA rules. International Formula 18 Class Rules 2013 3 PART I – ADMINISTRATION Section A – General A.1 LANGUAGE A.1.1 The official language of the IF18CA is English and in case of dispute over translation the English text shall prevail.

  • The Trouble with Niceness: How a Preference for Pleasantry Sabotages Culturally Responsive Teacher Preparation
    Journal of Language and Literacy Education Vol. 12 Issue 2—Fall 2016 The Trouble with Niceness: How a Preference for Pleasantry Sabotages Culturally Responsive Teacher Preparation Jeanne Dyches Bissonnette Abstract: Because few teacher education programs are truly rooted in the philosophical aims of multicultural and social justice education (Asher, 2007; Banks, 2008; Hayes & Juarez, 2012; Miller, 2014), many pre-service teachers (PSTs) remain unpracticed—and unable—to teach in culturally responsive ways (Sleeter, 2012). But what structures and forces bear the culpability for the long documented shortcomings of this preparation? And how can literacy teacher educators honor their commitment to preparing practitioners capable of teaching all children? Here, the author postulates the ways in which teacher education programs’ preference for niceness functions as an iteration of Whiteness that obstructs attempts to actualize culturally responsive teacher preparation, tending specifically to the complicity of audit culture, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, and curricula and instruction. In an effort to disrupt and ultimately dismantle the culture of niceness, the author offers successful approaches to training PSTs for teaching in culturally responsive ways, including displaying sociocultural vulnerability, modeling and creating opportunities for critical reflection, and collaborating alongside PSTs to craft a transformative curriculum. Keywords: culturally responsive pedagogy, teacher preparation Jeanne Dyches Bissonnette is an assistant professor of literacy education at Iowa State University where she researches secondary teacher education and social justice. Formerly a secondary English teacher and literacy coach, Dr. Bissonnette’s work focuses on promoting culturally responsive literacy instruction. Her recent and forthcoming publications include articles in Journal of Teacher Education, Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, The ALAN Review, and Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (English).
