Multicultural Education

Multicultural Education refers to the incorporation of diverse cultures into classrooms, shaping the curriculum to integrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. Teachers and staff in schools must become knowledgeable about the history, culture, and the contributions of diverse groups in order to pass that knowledge on to students.  Lastly, multicultural education serves as a tool in confronting social issues related to race, ethnicity, gender, etc.

Scope

This guide is intended for college students, faculty, K-12 teachers, and other educators interested in promoting both a multicultural outlook and a multicultural education in the K-12 classroom. Multiculturalism has become an increasingly important topic in education over the past three decades and, as such, the materials included here are among the most current that the Siena Library has to offer. For books, each entry ends with the book’s calls number, making it easy to locate. This pathfinder also includes e-books.
