Being a student of Washington Lee myself, I have ran into many people who asked me my opinions on the topic and what I thought the outcome may be. Every time, I said the same thing, "I don't know". After doing a project in our English class and doing research on Lee and other factors that may impact the decision, I have concluded that Washington Lee should not be renamed. This school has a long history of being one of the best schools in Virginia. Changing the name would wipe away our reputation. It is clear that Lee's viewpoints on some topics, like racism, don't align with modern day values or what Washington Lee’s values are. However, that was a century ago, having slaves was acceptable at the time and the majority of the US had the same views. Especially Virginia being a southern state, made his views more accepted.

  • The Changing Face of Arlington Public Schools Over the Past Six Decades
    THE CHANGING FACE OF ARLINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS OVER THE PAST SIX DECADES Over the past 60 years, beginning with the integration of Stratford Junior High and extending to the current day with plans for new buildings and revisioning the high school experience, Arlington Public Schools has considered the changing needs of its school population through periods of expansion and decline, changing demographics, technology growth and evolving instructional approaches. Arlington continues to focus on providing high-quality instruction for all students. www.apsva.us Arlington, VA 1958-67 the county, a major initiative in Cross Cultural this effort in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Professional Learning was introduced and Arlington’s hiring guidelines became the Arlington Public Schools’ commitment implemented for teachers at all levels. basis for the state’s ESOL teacher certification to diversity was clearly articulated and During this decade, APS experienced requirements. demonstrated during the struggle to integrate significant growth in its student population, Arlington’s Asian student population Stratford Junior High School in February reaching an enrollment high of 25,261 students (predominantly from Vietnam, Laos, and 1959.

  • Let Justice Roll Down: the Civil Rights Movement Through Film (1954-1965)
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1998 Volume I: The Use and Abuse of History in Film and Video Let Justice Roll Down: The Civil Rights Movement Through Film (1954-1965) Curriculum Unit 98.01.06 by Joan Rapczynski The curriculum unit I have chosen will be incorporated into the United States History II course that is required of all eleventh graders in the city of New Haven. The unit will focus on the Civil Rights Movement during the years 1954-1965. In my past years of teaching American History, one of my goals was to make history come alive and be exciting for my students. I used a variety of techniques in the classroom recognizing the fact that students learn in a multitude of ways. One method I have found to be extremely successful is the use of visual materials. Films can bring a lesson to life. They can play a vital role in stirring up social issues of the past. Hollywood, as well as independent film companies have created many films that address the issues of the civil rights movement. In viewing a film students can acquire an incredible amount of comprehensive knowledge on a topic. Film visually recreates the time period for students. They are able to see physical gestures, cadences of speech, style of dress, style of architecture, as well as experience the environment. After viewing and discussing the film, students are usually amazed at the amount of factual knowledge they acquired while they were being entertained. I have found it to be an unusual instance when a classroom lecture can have the same impact as a powerful film.

  • Winter 2006 the Official Newsletter of Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site Volume 3, Issue 1
    National Park Service Park News U.S. Department of the Interior Constitutional Writes Winter 2006 The official newsletter of Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site Volume 3, Issue 1 Members of the “Little Rock Nine” unveil statues of themselves on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol. Photo courtesy of the Arkansas Secretary of State’s Office. Hundreds of people gathered on the State Capitol grounds August 30th to witness the Little Rock Nine unveil life size statues of themselves. Tears, hugs and cheers filled the air as the covers concealing the statues hit the ground. Forty-eight years ago Orval Faubus occupied the governor’s office at the Capitol. Now the Little Rock Nine are represented on the same grounds where Faubus ordered the Arkansas National Guard to keep them from entering Central High School. Arkansas State Senators Tracy Steele and Irma Hunter Brown sponsored legislation to have the statues erected on the grounds of the State Capitol. Sculptors John and Kathy Deering worked for more than five years to create the statues. They were inspired to create the statues after the opening of the Central High School NHS Visitor Center in 1997. “…It was almost as if I could see a finished sculpture of the Little Rock Nine in my mind’s eye.” Deering said. “I was inspired to create “Testament” through the historical significance of the event and the images of the Nine I had seen in photographs.” Also on that day the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a stamp depicting the Little Rock Nine as part of a stamp series called To Form a More Perfect Union.
