Teaching to Change LA Equal Terms 50 Years Since Brown vs. Board of Education ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Students, Educators, Parents, and Activists: On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court declared state-sponsored school segregation unconstitutional. With its Brown v. Board of Education decision, the Court promised education on "equal terms." Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of this decision, we ask ourselves how well our society has lived up to its promise. Teaching to Change LA (TCLA) explores the meaning of "equal terms" in education and the struggle to achieve it in Los Angeles over the past 50 years. We invite students, teachers, parents, and activists to participate in TCLA's Dialogue, and contribute to TCLA's Public History Project. A Los Angeles Dialogue Do you think students receive equal and adequate resources for learning? TCLA asks this question to state Senator Dede Alpert, teacher Katrina Hamilton, and community activist Maria Brenes. Read their responses and join TCLA's online dialogue on the meaning of education on equal terms. Public History Project This past summer, high school students from across greater Los Angeles examined the history of education and social change in their communities. Take a look at their video documentaries, PowerPoint presentations, and GIS maps. Create Your Own Public History Project TCLA encourages teachers and students to create their own public history projects. We offer teachers ideas for getting started, a set of on-line resources, and the opportunity to submit student work for publication. Data Reports: Education for Equal Terms TCLA's first data report looks at students' access to qualified teachers and adequate school facilities. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TCLA will publish four more issues on the theme of Equal Terms. We encourage you to contribute your voice to one or all of these issues. Best wishes, John Rogers Associate Director, IDEA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Teaching to Change LA is an online journal of UCLA's Institute for Democracy, Education, & Access (IDEA). Questions regarding this journal should be addressed to tcla@gseis.ucla.edu. www.TeachingToChangeLA.org
