Multicultural Education and Human Relations: Valuing Diversity

This book provides the philosophical foundation for multicultural teaching while offering practical workbook activities, exercises, games, and checklists for classroom application. Multicultural Education and Human Relations asks teachers to diagnose their present knowledge and skills, reflect on experiences, actively participate in exercises, discuss relevant theory and research, and integrate this information into their behavioral repertoires in order to enter classroom situations from a background of first-hand awareness and experience. From this position of self-analysis, teachers become better prepared to work in a culturally diverse classroom and help these classes function cooperatively and effectively while promoting respect for diversity and the cultural values of others. For pre-service and in-service teachers at all levels.
