For undergraduate and graduate courses in Multicultural Education and Cultural Foundations. This text 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 Seventh Edition of this text further emphasizes the need to engage students in exploring diversity through self-reflection, application, and to see culturally responsive classrooms in action.
