DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Demographic shifts within elementary classrooms and school policies regarding main-streaming of all children will require that teachers be trained in working with an increasingly diverse student body. Our review of current diversity training programs for elementary school teachers reveals no interactive multimedia programs to train teachers to effectively work in such diverse classrooms. The expected outcome of this project is to develop an intervention that will assist teachers in developing their pedagogical skills and managing complex classroom dynamics and behaviors. Importantly, the public health implications of this research are vast given that the links between discrimination and physical and mental health have been well established in studies regarding discrimination based on race, gender, physical ability, and immigration status. When complete, this comprehensive diversity training program for K-3 educators will include specific components on: race, gender, disability (physical and emotional), and culture. This program will also increase teacher skills in effective communication with parents, and provide effective strategies for addressing student queries about human variation. In addition, print materials will be developed for school faculty and administrators to encourage the promotion of inclusive classroom practices. The Phase I prototype CD-ROM/Internet program will incorporate empirically validated diversity training strategies, behavior management methods, and instructional design techniques. The Phase I project will develop and evaluate a theoretically grounded intervention on racism designed to increase: (a) knowledge of the meaning of race, (b) knowledge of manifestations of bias and discrimination (e.g., unintentional racism, implicit attitudes, racial privilege, and institutional racism) in the classroom and in schools, (c) positive attitudes regarding racial diversity and multiculturalism, (d) peer norms that encourage using inclusive classroom dynamics, (e) intentions to engage in practices that create inclusive classroom environment (f) self-efficacy in promoting positive expectations for all students, (g) understanding of impact of personal racial bias and comfort level in situations of difference, and (h) communication skills with students (e.g., active listening, clarifying, and communicating respect). The program will be evaluated in a randomized controlled trial.

描述（由申请人提供）：有关所有儿童主流的基本教室和学校政策中的人口转变，将要求对教师与越来越多样化的学生团体合作进行培训。我们对针对小学教师的当前多样性培训计划的审查表明，没有互动的多媒体计划来培训教师在这种多样化的教室中有效地工作。该项目的预期结果是开发一种干预措施，该干预措施将有助于教师发展他们的教学技能并管理复杂的课堂动态和行为。重要的是，鉴于歧视与身心健康之间的联系在基于种族，性别，身体能力和移民身份的歧视研究中已经很好地确定了这项研究的公共卫生影响。完成后，针对K-3教育者的全面多样性培训计划将包括有关：种族，性别，残疾（身体和情感）和文化的特定组成部分。该计划还将提高教师与父母有效沟通的技能，并提供有效的策略来解决学生对人类变异的疑问。此外，还将为学校教师和管理人员开发印刷材料，以鼓励促进包容性的课堂实践。 I期原型CD-ROM/Internet程序将结合经验验证的多样性培训策略，行为管理方法和教学设计技术。第一阶段项目将在理论上对旨在增加的种族主义进行理论上扎根的干预措施：（a）了解种族含义的知识，（b）了解偏见和歧视表现的知识（例如，在课堂和学校中（c）种族主义和普通人（c）五个贵重性，（c）五个杂物（c），（c）五个种族的态度，（c）五），c）鼓励使用包容性的课堂动态，（e）打算从事创造包容性课堂环境（F）自我效能的实践，以促进对所有学生的积极期望，（g）了解个人种族偏见和差异情况下的舒适水平的影响，以及（H）与学生的沟通技巧（例如，积极的聆听，澄清，澄清，澄清和交流）。该程序将在随机对照试验中进行评估。
