...Abstract: baumbusch j., dahlke s. & phinney a. (2012) Nursing students' knowledge and beliefs about care of older adults in a shifting context of nursing education. Journal of Advanced Nursing 68(11), 2550-2558. Abstract Aim. To a report a study of improvements in students' knowledge and beliefs about nursing care of older adults following completion of an introductory course with integrated adult/older adult content. Background. Nursing schools are under pressure to provide accelerated programmes to meet growing workforce demands and provide students with the knowledge they require to care for an ageing population. Thus, stand-alone courses in gerontological nursing are being eliminated and integrated with general adult content. The effect of this approach remains poorly understood. Design. A one-group pretest-post-test design was used. Methods. Data were collected between September-December 2010. Students completed the Palmore Facts on Aging Quiz, the Perceptions of Caring for Older People Scale, and open-ended questions about their experiences before and after completing a course with integrated adult/older content. Results. Students' knowledge and beliefs about nursing care of older adults demonstrated an important improvement following completion of the course. Qualitative findings reflected three themes: relating to older people; neglect by the system; having time to learn. Conclusions. Findings from this study suggest that even when integrated with general adult content...

...Early Childhood Education 01 July 2012 Culture and Diversity Webliography Assignment • Jones, T., (2005). Incorporate Diversity Into Your Classroom. Intervention In School & Clinic, 41 (1), 9-12. Retrieved from http://0-search.ebscohost.com.lasiii.losrios.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=trh&AN=17997021&site=ehost-live&scope=site This article has 20 relatively simple ways to incorporate diversity into the classroom. Some of the ideas were so simple they could be seamlessly integrated with other teaching that was already happening. Such as while learning about the traditional explorers from Spain, England, and Portugal; it would be a perfect time to learn about explorers from Africa, Mexico, or Norway. Another idea was to study games from other parts of the world and if the students seemed keen about one the games, the article suggested learning how to play the game and incorporate into the games already played. I chose this particular article over other articles for its simplicity and its approach to teaching diversity without actually drawing attention specifically to diversity education. Some of the other like minded articles were to complex for my simplemindedness and made it a point to teach diversity instead of incorporating it into existing learning. After reading the article I thought I could employ some of the ideas without much effort while playing with my grandchildren. • Barta, J., & Winn, T. (1996). Involving parents in creating...

...of minorities assimilating to American “culture”. Banks made it clear to point out that “46% of the school population by 2020 would be non-white" (Banks,2001;Neito,2000) This cultural boom is nothing that cannot be ignored and must be embraced by all especially within the teaching profession. As America makes strides toward a cultural melting pot, education is one factor that needs to develop along with it. Progress in education depends on the quality of teachers. With the constant changing demographics in the United States it has become important to realize that it was not the minorities who needed to adapt, but the teachers. Classrooms today are becoming increasingly diverse. This growing diversity has caused a myriad of challenges for the practicing teacher. This increased diversity has presented challenges for the practicing teacher, and while there has been an immense effort to provide these teachers with professional development to meet this challenge, many issues still exists. It became evident that preparing teachers for this change was of extreme importance. In turn, the awareness to prepare pre-service teachers for multicultural education has become a main focal point of this reform. Works Cited Ameny-Dixon, Gloria.

...Title: Equality and Inclusion Assignment. Introduction “Children’s early years have been stressed as being fundamentally important to their future development and consequently to society as a whole”, (Early Years Framework, 2009). There are however multiple and diverse childhoods. This report will firstly examine legislation which has been introduced to reduce inequalities and promote social inclusion in relation to early childhood. The second section of this report will critically examine some of the sociological concepts pertaining to poverty, class, health inequalities and the harmful effects of stereotyping and prejudice. The report will also explore some of the factors that can influence and shape children’s identity and multiple identities. The third section of this report will discuss the effectiveness of government policy and how this is translated into practice. The final section will discuss practice which promotes equality and inclusion with reference to a placement task. In conclusion the report will discuss if current legislation, policy and practice is effective in demonstrating an inclusive approach. Legislation The Equality Act (2010) streamlines and strengthens the law and gives individuals greater protection from unfair discrimination and makes it easier for employers and companies to understand their responsibilities. It also sets a new standard for those who provide public services to treat everyone, with dignity and respect. There are nine protected...

...Using their own study and research from previous studies, Kvarfordt and Sheridan found an absence of education related to spiritual interventions. Their recommendations for social work practice were threefold. First, religious and spiritual diversity should be measured within social work education curriculum. Secondly, institutions should be compliant with Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards by doing so. Kvarfordt and Sheridan’s third recommendation was that students be prepared to practice in the 21st century global approach through curriculum of academic institutions...

...the importance of representing constituents, to “doing the right thing,” which is characterized by opponents as “political correctness,” to the current widely held view that a nondiverse board is missing key potential donors and opinion leaders. Diverse leaders can expand knowledge, create new resources, and open doors to partnerships necessary to fulfill an organization’s mission. Recommended strategies for board diversification must be understood in the context of the deeply divided society of the United States. Although North American cultural issues are the result of a unique history, most elements of diversity planning will apply in other countries as well.

...Minorities in Librarianship Diversity is an important challenge for the field of librarianship as the profession does not reflect or represent the United States population and the communities served. Many barriers exist with improvement needed in the areas of recruitment and retention, cultural programs, LIS curriculum, and more career advancement opportunities for ethic minority groups. In its 2007 report Diversity Counts, the American Library Association (ALA) stated 86.5% of its membership as Caucasian and that “credentialed and non-credentialed librarians…are predominately….white”. The recent statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau clearly indicate the demographic changes in the nation will continue to impact librarianship. In order for the profession to remain relevant to the communities they serve, more work is needed to bring minorities into the workforce. The references listed are beneficial for those interested to learn more about the challenges facing minorities and some proactive steps to help increase diversity in the profession.
