Adjusting Our
Teaching Styles to the Learning Styles of Our Students
Dr. L. Lee Knefelkamp Professor of Psychology & Education Columbia
University, Teachers College. How can pedagogy be diversified to
improve connections with the range of learner characteristics and
cultural ways of knowing? How can faculty hone their “listening
to understand” skills and develop as complex thinkers for
interactions with people from different backgrounds? How does the
“multicultural self” theory relate to teaching? How
do students encounter differences of ideas, people, and cultures?

Teach-In for
Peace and Action
Please come to a planning meeting on Monday, January 29th at 2:15
in the upstairs lounge at USM-LA. A group of USM faculty, staff
and students, along with community members and organizations, is
joining together with Peace Action Maine to organize a Teach-In
for Peace and Action, which we have tentatively scheduled for March
22nd, 12-5 pm to be held at USM’s L-A College Campus. Your
help is needed in organizing! We are hoping to have a series of
panels discussing issues around the war in Iraq, such as the disproportionate
impact on the poor, as well as the constitutional, political, social,
economic, and moral costs of the war. However, it is our hope that
the focus of the event will be on concerted, constructive action
toward peace. Please respond to the address below if you can attend
the planning meeting, if you are interested in being involved but
unable to make it on Monday, or if you have ideas about the March
22nd event. Also, please feel free to pass this notice along to
others you think may be interested. Michelle Vazquez Jacobus, J.D.,
L.C.S.W., Assistant Professor, Social and Behavioral Sciences and
