White Women Preparing to Teach in Urban Schools: Looking for Similarity and Finding Difference

Research points to particular problems in the experiences of White teachers teaching students of color (Cochran-Smith et al., 2004). Despite good intentions, teaching students of diverse backgrounds and experiences can be challenging for teachers who are unfamiliar with their students’ backgrounds and communities. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of notions about “good urban teaching” for three women in a preservice teacher preparation program. Reporting on two years of data, we show how the three women negotiated their beliefs and identities in light of program demands and classroom realities. The lack of synchronicity within the women’s experiences highlights that the traditional (white, female, middle class) students in preservice teacher education programs are not homogeneous. The significance of this difference is highlighted through the concept of heterogeneity. We define heterogeneity as the differences that exist among traditional students in preservice teacher preparation programs. Our research suggests that heterogeneity is complicit in the progress or lack of progress of preservice teachers developing professional identities.

从庐山国学到白鹿洞书院

白鹿洞书院为古今传诵名院,清王昶《天下书院总志·序》且誉之为"天下书院之首"。但其兴起,由初创而至鼎盛,并非一朝一夕之功,而是经过漫长的历程、倾注了无数人的精力。庐山国学为其前身。此一前期工程不仅为书院提供了必备的物质条件,而且为书院积累了丰富教育经验,书院诸多特点皆形成于或孕育于此时。书院经过国学阶段的不断运用、实践、推广、发展,终至完备。就此而言,庐山国学不愧为转型期的一个重要里程碑。     

《白泽图》与古小说志怪渊源

作为东汉方术、杂占家所作的一部巫书,《白泽图》的成书与道教宗教化密不可分。"尚巫"的时代风气促使"精怪"题材首先在巫书中产生、发展,成为道教徒"自神其教"的工具。《白泽图》中"精怪"题材的特点在于确立了"物老成精"的构思模式,这种构思模式一方面继承了上古神话的图腾造像,另一方面为小说,这种新兴文体注入了叙事活力,并影响着志怪小说乃至明清章回小说叙事艺术的演进。

Using Power and Caring to Mediate White Male Privilege,Equality, and Equity in an Urban Elementary Classroom: Implications for Teacher Preparation

Although students from diverse backgrounds may have access to equal educational opportunity by occupying the same classroom space, they do not necessarily enjoy equal and fair access to the same quality of experience within that classroom. The inequalities and inequities are partially a result of privilege, an advantage afforded to individuals because of their similarity to the norms operating in the classroom. In this article, the ways in which the white male students in a diverse, urban fourth grade classroom exercise privilege are identified and the white teacher's approach to mediating white male privilege, equality, and equity is examined. The teacher's approach is evaluated in terms of fairness via the white male students' perceptions of the classroom environment, viewed in relation to power and caring and is discussed with respect to implications for teacher preparation.     

试论《白鹿原》的史诗风格

《白鹿原》很好地发挥了小说的艺术特性，把史与诗水乳交融在一起，成为一部史诗风格的作品。小说以白鹿原为舞台，以白、鹿两姓子弟的人生历程为主要描写内容。以民族心史为构架，以宗法文化的悲剧和农民式的抗争作为主线来结构全书，始终以人物为叙述中心，从人物生活境遇的变迁来展示历史的变化。《白鹿原》是史与诗风格的完美交融，是民族生存的历史反思、文化反思和生命反思，它从历史的深度，生活的厚度，文化的广度，人性的力度入手，把人、社会历史和文化精神结合起来，且三者之间相互激荡，相互作用，共同增强了作品的时空感。
