APA Tip of the Day: Headings
• Headings are very useful in helping your reader
understand the organization of your paper – think of
them as highway road signs.
• Most students will not use more than three levels of
headings.
• Follow the table on page 62 of your APA manual for the
format of each level of heading. Your major sections
take level one, subsections of level 1 take level 2.
Subsections of level 2 take level 3, etc.
• Although your first section (Introduction) would be a
level 1 heading, do not include it:
– “The introduction to a manuscript does not carry a heading that
labels it as the introduction. (The first part of a manuscript is
assumed to be the introduction)” (APA, 2010, p. 63).

POWER AND PRIVILEGE IN
SCHOOLING
March 2, 2015
Today’s Readings:
Nieto (2012), ch 1 & 3 and Anzaldúa (1000)
“Multicultural education, or any kind of education for
that matter, cannot be understood in a vacuum. Yet in
many schools, multicultural education is approached
as if it were divorced from the policies and practices of
schools and from the structures and ideologies of
society. This kind of thinking often results in misguided
practices such as a singular focus on cultural artifacts
like food and dress or on ethnic celebrations that
exaggerate exotic attributes of groups. It can become
“fairyland” multicultural education, disassociated from
the lives of teachers, students, and communities. This
is multicultural education without a sociopolitical
context” [emphasis in original] (Nieto, 2012, p. 4).

Defining “Sociopolitical Context"
“The sociopolitical context of
society includes laws,
regulations, politics, practices,
traditions, and ideologies”
[emphasis in original] (Nieto,
2012, p. 4).
Think, Write, Pair, Share
What does sociocultural
context mean in relation to
where you teach, would like to
teach, or work (if a non-school
setting)?
