Asian Pacific Heritage Month -
The month of May was chosen to
commemorate the immigration of the first
Japanese to the United States on May 7,
1843, and to mark the anniversary of the
completion of the trans-continental railroad
on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers
who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants.

- Teaching Tolerance's Mix It Up Program
helps K-12 teachers develop inclusive school
communities. Students thrive - socially and
academically - in schools that are inclusive. Yet,
for far too many students, schools are hotbeds
of exclusion. Mix It Up seeks to break down the
barriers and improve intergroup relations so
there are fewer misunderstandings that can lead
to conflicts.

- Closing the Achievement Gap: Racial
Inequality and The Unfinished Legacy of Civil
Rights in America
by Pedro A. Noguera Ph.D., a professor of
sociology in the Steinhardt School of Culture,
Education and Development and the author of the
recent book The Trouble With Black Boys:
Reflections on Race, Equity and the Future of
Public Education. America expects a lot from
its frequently maligned public schools, and with
the adoption of the federal No Child Left Behind
Law (NCLB), we have demanded even more. Under
NCLB, schools are expected to produce evidence
that all children are learning (as measured by
their performance on standardized tests) and
eliminate the so-called "achievement gap."
