    CHAPTER 3 LESSON 2
    Multicultural
    Education:
    A Challenge to Global Teachers
    All men are pretty much alike.
    It is only by culture that they re
    set apart.
    Confucius
    What is
    Culture?
    the values, traditions, social and worldview
    shared by a group of people bound together by
    a combination of factors. (Derman and Sparks)
    Diversity of Learners and
    Multicultural Education

    the major goal of multicultural education is to


    transform the school so that the male and
    female students, exceptional learners, as well as
    students coming from diverse cultural, social-
    class, racial and ethnic groups will receive an
    equal opportunity to learn in school.
    -James Banks
    Students may differ in:
    Race
    Ethnic or religious groups
    Economic status
    Languages spoken
    Family background
    Some could be stricken by poverty,
    unemployment, relocations, etc.
    In the midst of this diversity, students are
    supposed to receive equal opportunities
    to education.
    In order to do this, we need:
    Curricular and instructional modifications

    (Different) Teaching styles

    Re-examination of teachers attitudes, beliefs and


    perception
    This movement called
    MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION
    enables teachers and educators to give
    value to the differences in prior
    knowledge, experiences of learners from
    diverse background and familiarity with
    students histories of diverse cultures.
    (Haertel, 1998)
    Goals of
    Multicultural Education:
    Develop and foster a democratic and just society where
    all groups experience cultural democracy and
    empowerment
    Improve academic achievement of all students

    Help the students to develop the knowledge, attitudes


    and skills needed to function within their own and other
    micro cultures, and within global community

    Provide opportunities to gain cultural competency


    How do we achieve these GOALS?
    To achieve these goals, it is very
    important for teachers to be
    knowledgeable about differences in
    cultures, religion, ethnicity, and even the
    language spoken by the students.
    Suggestions to understand multi-cultural
    learners: (Fraser-Abner, 2001)

    Learn as much about and become as sensitive


    to and aware of racial, ethnic, cultural and
    gender groups other than your own

    Never make assumptions about an individual


    based on their perception of that individuals
    race, ethnicity, culture or gender
    Suggestions to understand multi-cultural
    learners: (Fraser-Abner, 2001)

    Avoid stereotyping

    Get to know each student as a unique


    individual: Walk in the footsteps of all your
    students
    Other suggestions include:
    Look into your own conscious and subconscious biases
    about the people who are different from yourselves

    Plan your activities within a multicultural framework


    while making your classroom a safe and secure place
    for all the students

    Infuse multicultural instructional materials and


    strategies in your teaching

    Foster collaboration and cooperation among your


    learners, parents and teachers
    a caring environment will always
    enhance academic achievement.
