This respected text for courses in Multicultural o... MOREr Multiethnic Education provides students the tools necessary to teach effectively in today's diverse classrooms. "Pluralistic" is defined as having multiple aspects or parts. The classroom of today has students from multiple backgrounds, cultures, and races. Within those differing groups students have their own individual differences. Their home situations may be very different. They may be from a different social class. Each teacher also comes to the classroom with their own cultural background and past experiences that will effect how they will handle different situations. The goal of this book is to help students to apply what they have learned and in turn to prepare their students to live in our heterogeneous culture.Eight micro-cultures that teachers may encounter in the classroom are examined in detail: They are:Ethnicity and raceClass and socioeconomic statusGender and sexual orientationExceptionalityLanguageReligionGeographyAgeSome of the features of the book are the ABC News Video Insights boxes that explore current issues in multicultural education today, Focus Your Cultural Lens Debates that ask the reader to take a position on controversial school issues with for and against statements to consider, and the Pause to Reflect feature which lists questions and activities to promote self-awareness and ownership of past experiences and how they may affect a teacher in the classroom. The Critical Incidents feature gives both real and hypothetical situations that occur in schools and encourage the reader to examine their feelings about them.

This book explores diversity through seven micro-cultures, including:class, ethnicity and race, gender, exceptionality, religion, language, and age--and the impact of these cultures on learning in K-12 classrooms. The book emphasizes the need to engage students in exploring diversity through self-reflection, application, and to see culturally responsive classrooms in action.Exploring Diversity: A Video Case ApproachCD-ROM and accompanying activity guide provides examples of culturally responsive teaching related to chapter content
