Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This chapter [Chapter 9] was an excellent resource for my students and was the foundation of the final weeks of class. In particular, students were able to use elements of each of the sample plans to develop thier own individual units for presentation.
"The entire class found it [Chapter 7] refreshing and apploaded the author for promoting her position in "Reflections about Reaching All Learners" that "the vast majority of students have the capacity to develop the learning skills necessary to succeed in school."
Rick Gay, Davidson College
"I can say her [Bennett's] approach to Multicultural/Diversity Education instruction is very informative and helpful for teachers of diverse students. The examples and cases are students' favorites. The quality of the information presented [in this text] is excellent."
Henry M. Codjoe, Dalton State College
"She [Bennett] starts out with a strong presentation of a theoretical framework. I find her case examples very compelling. I especially like the many examples of lesson plans found in Chapter 9. I like the emphasis placed on ethnic and national groups covered in Part II. Other texts don't cover this topic to the extent that this text does. I would be very inclined to try the Bennett text the next time I teach our multiculutral education class. I particularly like her treatment of immigration and how it has impacted our nation and our schools."
Richard Orem, Northern Illinois University
" I appreciated the depth of materials covered in this text, especially the argument for the need for multicultural education. More areas of diversity were covered than is found in most texts of this nature. Overall, the writing style is great. It is easy to read, has a narrative feel."
Anita Jones Thomas, Loyola University - Chicago

Not Designed For Teachers,
By William Barnum (Chicago Suburbs) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Comprehensive Multicultural Education: Theory and Practice (6th Edition) (Paperback)
This book is OK, as long as you know what you're getting. If you are looking for a reference book that covers sociological and anthropological theories of culture, then it is probably a good choice. I wouldn't recommend reading it page by page, because it is too dense and there is a lot of trivia.If you are a classroom teacher or are training to be a classroom teacher, it is probably not for you. Most of the information doesn't relate to teaching in any direct way. The case studies aren't worth reading, because they don't provide any real insights. The tables are reasonably well organized and provide a useful breakdown of the material.

After I purchased this book, it appeared to be an instructor's manual. Be careful when you purchase this edition.
