Multicultural Education of Children and Adolescents

Multicultural Education of Children and Adolescents explores the foundations of diversity through cultural portraits of young people from a variety of backgrounds, and provides practical strategies for shaping and implementing a multicultural curriculum. Content and features new to the seventh edition include the following: Every chapter opens with a real-life story that introduces the subject matter by showing the ideas in action. Points to Ponder boxes urge readers to reflect more deeply on information they have just read. Case Studies with accompanying Questions for Discussion in all chapters enable nuanced consideration of the crucial differences between culturally specific learning styles. Chapter 13 now includes a section on teaching and understanding LGBTQIA+ youth, with updated teacher resources to support learning. The book addresses newly emerging issues in Multicultural Education throughout, including discussions around Critical Race Theory (CRT), Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP), the impact of the #BlackLivesMatter (BLM) Movement, the impact of xenophobia and hate towards Asian communities during the COVID-pandemic, as well as migration and refugee issues. Through a series of applied chapters, teacher candidates will learn to use the most effective instructional practices with diverse learners, and to work successfully with families, school personnel, and administrators to implement a multicultural program.
