Multicultural Education Of Children And Adolescents (5th Edition)

For this fifth edition, the authors revisited their three-part framework and updated every chapter with new scenarios, references, and opportunities for reflection. Part I provides a definition of multicultural education that includes all types of diversity and explores a variety of foundational issues and models. Part II focuses on various cultural groups to help preservice teachers better understand the backgrounds of diverse learners and the strategies for working with them. Finally, Part III offers teacher candidates a series of chapters that help them apply concepts of the book to their practice: planning a multicultural curriculum, using the most effective instructional practices, working successfully with families of diverse students, and collaborating with school personnel and administrators to implement a multicultural program.
