The Human Relations Code: Teacher Certification Guidelines.
Wisconsin Univ., Oshkosh. Coll. of Education.
A new standard has been issued by the state of Wisconsin to insure that each of the teachers it certifies is able to teach children from diverse racial, economic, and religious backgrounds, who may differ from the teacher and/or each other in culture, customs, lifestyle, language, etc. To insure that this aim is achieved, education majors are required to take courses that will prepare them, as teachers, to acquire certain basic knowledge of human relationships. Six objectives are listed in the code: (1) development of attitudes, skills, and techniques so that knowledge of human relations can be translated into learning experiences for students; (2) a study of the values, life styles, and contributions of racial, cultural, and economic groups in American society; (3) an analysis of the forces of racism, prejudice, and discrimination in American life and the impact of these forces on majority and minority groups; (4) experiences in which teachers have opportunities to examine their own attitudes and feelings about issues of racism, prejudice, and discrimination; (5) direct involvement with members of racial, cultural, and economic groups; (6) experiences in evaluating the ways in which racism, prejudice, and discrimination can be reflected in instructional materials. Included in this manual is a list of courses offered by the school which meet the requirements of the code. Sample forms are included to be filled out by students and supervisors attesting that the requirements of the human relations code have been fulfilled before graduation. (JD)
