Improved Essays
Going through chapter twelve of multicultural Education, I realized that we are living in a world that considers the goal of education is very important. Parents, families, and caregivers play the most essential role of involving other parents and family in children’s education. Some counties make a good effort to include parents in the proses of the education system, especially the United States of America. The U.S. is considered one of the countries including the most people from diverse backgrounds. Parents and family are usually invited to be involved in school events. Understanding culture and how it is linked to education is very important. Also, English is the key of life here in America, and it’s required in everything people experience

    When reading ”Mobilizing culture, language, and educational practices, Fulfilling the promises of Mendez and Brown” by Moll, L (2010) it goes on to explain the landmark brown v. board of education (1954) involving the Mexican and Mexican American students who lived in California. The Méndez family brought this case in relation to brown and cultural aspects involving what was happing to education at that time. From the reading I did not know how important this case was to everyone but that the law allowed segregation to Asians and Native Americans and did not go into detail for Mexican children. I found it interesting that when Gonzalo asked for help from a Hispanic organization they refused but helped later on. All Gonzalo wanted was to Change the education for children of the future.…

    How does (or doesn’t) Ladson-Billing study on addressing the needs of African American students connect to educating language minorities or culturally linguistic students? Ladson-Billing study on addressing the needs of African American students connect to educating language minorities or culturally linguistic students because he developed a grounded theory of culturally relevant pedagogy.

What he found from doing this study was that students in the eight…

    The International Forum of Teaching states, ““Multicultural education in adult education programs will help adult learners to understand the role of U.S. in the international world and teach the issues of poverty and economic interdependence” (A. Kumi-Yeboah and W. B. James, page 13). According to Ruple, Lee and Dalton, Malcom Knowles proposed the idea that adult learning must have a sense of relatability (J. Ruple, W. W. Lee, A.T. Dalton, page 61). Through multicultural education students can not only learn more about their peers, but it could help relate learning to their everyday lives. This relatability could be found through interdependence. Understanding different cultures and backgrounds can help students understand the effects those cultures and backgrounds have on the United States…

    I, in my own mind, have always thought of America as a place in the divine scheme of things that was set aside as a promised land. It was set here and the price of admission was very simple: the means of selection was very simple as to how this land should be populated. Any place in the world and any person from those places; any person with the courage, with the desire to tear up their roots, to strive for freedom, to attempt and dare to live in a strange and foreign place, to travel halfway across the world was welcome here. Ronald Reagan spoke these words during a commencement address for Williams Woods College in Missouri in June of 1952. Reagan believed that America was purposed to be a nation of freedom and unity.…
