Editorial Review:
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.

He makes various comments throughout the book that disclose negative personal opinions ... Read More

Rating: - wordy wordy wordy
Could he take any longer to make a point? He's at the top of his field, but he needs to be more concise. It's not like he's telling us complex stuff that needs repeating.

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.
