Synopsis

This text takes a personalized and practical approach towards multicultural education. Instead of starting with theory and adding classroom applications as secondary content, Multicultural Education starts with the teacher and what the teacher needs to know in order to be an effective multicultural educator. A strong theoretical foundation is interwoven throughout the text in a manner that makes it relevant to the reader. The text’s strong practical approach, along with its reader-friendly and jargon-free upbeat writing style, make it an ideal text for both undergraduate courses (where students want real classroom examples) and graduate courses (where in-service teachers can relate to and learn from the scenarios).
