>From Barb Garner, FOB Editor:  

A new issue of Focus on Basics is available online at
http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu 

Scroll down and click on the "newest issue of Focus on Basics" box.

The topic? "Isms": classism, racism, gender bias, and bias in all the other
categories that can differentiate people from the majority in society.

*Follow the eight year transformation of a New Orleans program into an
antiracist program; 

* Refresh your knowledge of multicultural educational theory; 

* Read about how an ESOL program in Oklahoma created a new venue for classes
in which traditional Muslim women could feel comfortable; 

* See how two basic education educators who thought they were non biased
recognized and moved past their own limitations; 

* Share the self recognition a teacher trainer felt when she realized her
practice was not as empowering as she thought it was;

* View the field from inside out as an African American teacher and
professional developer reflects on her growing awareness of the need to
address issues of bias in her practice. 

Printed copies of the publication are arriving in states this week. Let me
know what you think of the issue via the FOB electronic discussion list.
