ASIAN-PACIFIC AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH
One made a splash riding waves in Hawaii. Another made his mark walking the halls of Congress.
Still another made history designing an American landmark. As athletes, politicians, architects,
and scientists, they've not only changed the way we view America—they've transformed the
way we experience the world. This month you will meet ten of our country's most accomplished
Asian Americans.




                                       Duke Kahanamoku- King of the Waves
Duke Kahanamoku came to be known as the father of international surfing, but the Hawaiian native made
his first splash as a swimmer at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. Born in Honolulu in 1890,
Kahanamoku struck gold by setting a world record in the 100-meter free-style and earned a silver medal
in the 200-meter relay. He won two more gold medals at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, silver at the 1924
Paris Olympics, and a bronze at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. Kahanamoku's swimming and surfing
talents caught the attention of Hollywood, and over the course of nine years, he appeared in nearly 30
movies. Kahanamoku went on to serve as sheriff for the City and County of Honolulu for 26 years. When
the legendary swimmer and surfer died at the age of 77, he was remembered for his athletic talent and
sportsmanship.
Dalip Singh Saund - A Political Pioneer
Dalip Singh Saund made history in 1956 when he became the first Asian elected to Congress. Born in
India in 1899, Saund came to the United States in 1920 to study at the University of California,
Berkeley, where he earned a doctorate degree in mathematics. Despite being highly educated, Saund
discovered that his career options were limited due to anti-immigrant feelings in the U.S. As a result, he
worked in farming for the next 20 years. At the same time, Saund began fighting discriminatory laws
against Indians. In 1949, he and other Indians finally earned the right to become U.S. citizens. In 1956,
Saund left the fields of California for the halls of Congress. He served three terms in the House of
Representatives, working to improve U.S.-Asian relations. Saund's political career was cut short when he
suffered a stroke while campaigning for a fourth term. Still, he opened the door for Asian Americans to
enter U.S. politics.




                                   Maya Lin - A Monumental Architect
Maya Lin rose to fame in 1981. Just 21-years-old and still an architectural student at Yale University, Lin
won a contest to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Her design beat out more
than 1,400 entries. The Memorial's 594-foot granite wall features the names of the more than 58,000
U.S. soldiers who died during the Vietnam War. Each year, four million people visit the wall to pay their
respects to these war heroes. Less than a decade later, Lin designed another famous structure—the
Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama. The monument outlines the major events of the Civil
Rights Movement. Today, Lin's designs can be found in several American cities and continue to inspire
the entire nation.


MOTHER AND DAUGHTER SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING

course includes lecture, discussion, and self-defense techniques. The course is Saturday, May 21, 2011
fro 9am to 5:309m. The cost is $10.00. For more information contact the Parent Center at

CCAE/CAROCP CONFERENCE
KUDOS to everyone who participated the CCAE/CAROCP Spring Conference on Saturday, May 7, 2011.
The conference was well attended and offered many exciting and informative workshops. Special
congratulations go to Ms. Cynthia Oliva, APACS, and Ms. Claudia Javier, Academic Teacher Adviser on
the success of their workshop, How to Identify More Graduates. Well done!


DEMOGRAPHIC LISTS
Reaching out to students with that personal touch can make all the difference when it comes to
motivating someone to continue with his or her studies. You may request a demographic list of your class
from the main office or through any administrator. Please take a few minutes each week to phone
students whose attendance may have dropped off a bit and let them know they are missed.


REMINDER-CBET TUTORING LOGS
Please make sure your students are making weekly entries on their CBET Tutoring Logs. We must
continue to be diligent in maximizing our efforts to tap into all available funding sources for the
remainder of the school year. CBET funding is very important to the health of our ESL program and the
tutoring hours directly impact resource allocation.

JCAS SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Please don’t miss your opportunity to donate to the JCAS Scholarship fund for this year. No donation is
too small and every donation will help a student. Make checks payable to JEFFERSON CAS FACULTY
SCHOLARSHIP FUND. THANK YOU. Yes, cash is always accepted as well.



CALPRO WORKSHOP- Enhancing Learner Persistence
What’s all the excitement surrounding the topic of learner persistence, how does it differ from student
retention and motivation, and how do I encourage my students to persist in their learning? Based on
research on factors that promote learner persistence, this workshop engages participants in
brainstorming implications for changing practice in the four areas of intake, orientation, instruction, and
program activities. Come see what all the excitement is about!

  • 1. JEFFERSON EDUCATION AND CAREER CENTER LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT ~~ DIVISION OF ADULT AND CAREER EDUCATION BULLETIN Week of May 9, 2011 #36 Approved by Ann L. Reed, Principal CALENDAR PREVIEW May 10 & 11 CAHSEE May 18 Graduation Meeting May 30 Memorial Day Holiday- School Closed June 15 JCAS Graduation ASIAN-PACIFIC AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH One made a splash riding waves in Hawaii. Another made his mark walking the halls of Congress. Still another made history designing an American landmark. As athletes, politicians, architects, and scientists, they've not only changed the way we view America—they've transformed the way we experience the world. This month you will meet ten of our country's most accomplished Asian Americans. Duke Kahanamoku- King of the Waves Duke Kahanamoku came to be known as the father of international surfing, but the Hawaiian native made his first splash as a swimmer at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. Born in Honolulu in 1890, Kahanamoku struck gold by setting a world record in the 100-meter free-style and earned a silver medal in the 200-meter relay. He won two more gold medals at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, silver at the 1924 Paris Olympics, and a bronze at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. Kahanamoku's swimming and surfing talents caught the attention of Hollywood, and over the course of nine years, he appeared in nearly 30 movies. Kahanamoku went on to serve as sheriff for the City and County of Honolulu for 26 years. When the legendary swimmer and surfer died at the age of 77, he was remembered for his athletic talent and sportsmanship.
  • 2. Dalip Singh Saund - A Political Pioneer Dalip Singh Saund made history in 1956 when he became the first Asian elected to Congress. Born in India in 1899, Saund came to the United States in 1920 to study at the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a doctorate degree in mathematics. Despite being highly educated, Saund discovered that his career options were limited due to anti-immigrant feelings in the U.S. As a result, he worked in farming for the next 20 years. At the same time, Saund began fighting discriminatory laws against Indians. In 1949, he and other Indians finally earned the right to become U.S. citizens. In 1956, Saund left the fields of California for the halls of Congress. He served three terms in the House of Representatives, working to improve U.S.-Asian relations. Saund's political career was cut short when he suffered a stroke while campaigning for a fourth term. Still, he opened the door for Asian Americans to enter U.S. politics. Maya Lin - A Monumental Architect Maya Lin rose to fame in 1981. Just 21-years-old and still an architectural student at Yale University, Lin won a contest to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Her design beat out more than 1,400 entries. The Memorial's 594-foot granite wall features the names of the more than 58,000 U.S. soldiers who died during the Vietnam War. Each year, four million people visit the wall to pay their respects to these war heroes. Less than a decade later, Lin designed another famous structure—the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama. The monument outlines the major events of the Civil Rights Movement. Today, Lin's designs can be found in several American cities and continue to inspire the entire nation.
