Much more than a "how-to/activities" book, this textbook gives students a strong background in the conceptual, theoretical, and philosophical issues in multicultural education. Cultural Diversity and Education is designed to help pre-service and in-service educators clarify the philosophical and definitional issues related to pluralistic education, derive a philosophical position, design and implement effective teaching strategies that reflect ethnic and cultural diversity, and prepare sound guidelines for multicultural programs and practices. This book describes actions that educators can take to institutionalize educational programs and practices related to ethnic and cultural diversity. The scope of this edition has been broadened to include a focus on gender, disability, and giftedness. The significant changes that were made in this edition necessitated that the title be changed. Multiethnic Education: Theory and Practice, the title of this book for its three previous editions, no longer accurately describes its contents. Consequently, the title of the book was changed to better reflect the broader coverage of its content. For pre-service and in-service teachers, and anyone interested in educational diversity.

By "cherylkf" (Tri-Cities, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cultural Diversity and Education: Foundations, Curriculum, and Teaching (4th Edition) (Paperback)
This book is so jammed packed with ideas, I cannot wait to get back into the classroom this fall to try some of them. The ideas presented in this book will hopefully make it easier to connect with and implement activities for culturally different learners. The book also gave me a new perspective and philosophy for learners from different cultures.

Hipocritical,
This review is from: Cultural Diversity and Education: Foundations, Curriculum, and Teaching (5th Edition) (Paperback)
The book attempts to discuss the importance of multiculturalism within America's educational system, yet, the author's method of discussion throughout the book portrays biased and hipocritical views. The book intends to inform readers to stray away from prejudices and personal opinions, yet, the author seems to include his own prejudice views making his book hipocritical of the very point he attempts to conjure. He makes various comments throughout the book that disclose negative personal opinions upon current education within America's schools and educator's "white" methods of teaching. I agree with his claims on the need for educators to incorporate a more multicultural perspective in teaching, but he seems to boast more on his negative views and multicultural issues in education throughout the book, rather than including ideas and advice for educators on improving it.
