0011|                        A JOINT MEMORIAL
    |
0012|     REQUESTING THE LEGISLATIVE EDUCATION STUDY COMMITTEE TO REVIEW
    |
0013|     PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE TEACHER CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS TO
    |
0014|     INCLUDE REQUIREMENTS FOR TRAINING IN CULTURAL SENSITIVITY.
    |
0015|     
    |
0016|       WHEREAS, fifty-three percent of the state's population is
    |
0017|     classified by the United States census bureau as minority
    |
0018|     population; and
    |
0019|       WHEREAS, New Mexico has proportionally the highest minority
    |
0020|     population of all states in the United States; and
    |
0021|       WHEREAS, an appropriate education for New Mexico's diverse
    |
0022|     and multicultural student body requires sensitivity and respect
    |
0023|     of that diversity; and
    |
0024|       WHEREAS, many states with smaller minority populations than
    |
0025|     New Mexico, states such as South Dakota, Oklahoma, Wisconsin,
    |
0001|     Oregon and Minnesota, require teachers to have training in 
    |
0002|     multicultural education; and
    |
0003|       WHEREAS, New Mexico has no multicultural training in any of
    |
0004|     its teacher education curricula;
    |
0005|       NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
    |
0006|     STATE OF NEW MEXICO that the legislative education study
    |
0007|     committee be requested to review requirements for teacher
    |
0008|     certification and, working with a multiculturally represented
    |
0009|     committee, develop suggested curricula for multicultural
    |
0010|     sensitivity training to be included in teacher education
    |
0011|     programs; and 
    |
0012|       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the legislative education study
    |
0013|     committee be requested to develop recommendations by December 1,
    |
0014|     1996 to the legislature for legislation to require multicultural
    |
0015|     sensitivity training as a qualification for teacher
    |
0016|     certification; and
    |
0017|       BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this memorial be
    |
0018|     transmitted to members and the director of the legislative
    |
0019|     education study committee.
