justice (Kitano, Lewis, Lynch, Graves, 1996). In addition, even though community- based experiences are crucial, very often the opportunities have been missed in teacher preparation programs (Sleeter, 2001). The new invitation for a renovation of multicultural education started to appear in the last decade (Cochran-Smith, 2004). The invitation focuses on reinventing the current structural paradigm through ideological traditional challenge and situating the cultural and racial knowledge in the core of the

    White Teachers/Diverse Classroom Analysis

    The documentary White Teachers/Diverse Classrooms was an informational video about how white teachers can become better at connecting with their students that come from other cultures. Based off of the book White Teachers/Diverse Classrooms, edited by Julie Landsman and Chance W. Lewis, this documentary shares the voices of parents, teachers, students, and administrators. As well as hearing from different perspectives, the documentary also provides important numbers and information regarding racism and diversity in public schools and classrooms. The editors speak in the documentary about how they hope teacher viewing it will take the advice given in the video and build a stronger classroom. There is a lot that need improvement within schools…

    Courageous Conversations About Race By Glen E. Singleton

    What I learned As a Caucasian middle classed women in a town predominantly composed of individuals similar to me, I have fortunate enough to have faced very little discrimination in daily aspects of my life, including education. For this reason, I find myself at a disadvantage in terms of teaching to an increasingly diverse population. As a case in point, Glen E. Singleton, author of Courageous Conversations about Race, stated, “I don’t know what I don’t know” whilst discussing the matter of race. Put simply, I understand that I cannot possibly know everything about another culture; and I may lack the understanding, or misconstrue certain aspects from which I do know.…

    Maureen Joy's Deficit Analysis

    For a long time, teaching was, and still is in some parts of the world, seen as a deficit model system. A system that portrayed the idea that student’s minds needed to be filled with the wisdom, insight, and knowledge provided by the teachers. Maureen Joy’s staff fights this deficit model every day using simple methods that every school could implement, but for some odd reason, doesn’t. In the 21st century, the idea of a multicultural classroom seems like normal scenario.…

    Confident Learners Case Study

    As educators we are continuously trying to make connections with the students we are intrusted to guide, and mentor. To create for them a foundation which will make their lives in some measurable way better. However, many educators although well versed on pedagogical practices, fail to understand the role in which creating more culturally inclusive classrooms will have dramatic improvements on whole school, and teacher student relationships. As noted by inclusiveclassrooms.org: “As teachers, so many of our exclusionary practices are ones we do not even recognize. Practices we have known and loved our whole lives may have implications for students, simply because of cultural differences.…

    Comprehensive Multicultural Education Analysis

    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.…

    Advancing Multicultural Education: New Historicism In The High School English Classroom

    As new teachers start their career, in order to balance multiculturalism into their curriculum teaching theories like New Historicism and a critical theory method will help aid the balance. The common approach to infusing multicultural education into the curriculum is addressing important figures in history such as Martin Luther King Jr and Cesar Chavez. That is the easiest way for a teacher for they do not have to adjust the curriculum. However, this approach does not benefit the students entirely. A generalization of history students receive today in school does not do it justice, but insight from primary sources from various ethnic groups will expand their understanding on history of different race and gender groups.…

    Then actively select materials and develop lessons that counteract stereotypes and incorporate histories and contributions of all cultures.” (Public Schools of North Carolinas, 2016) Recently in Washington DC (2015), educators and teacher trainers held a roundtable meeting to discuss how to build a successful teaching workforce. They concluded that too many new teachers were unprepared for the classroom and lacked experience working with a diverse, low-income student population and because of this, teachers may have an adverse impact on students from differing backgrounds.

    Teachers should strive to guarantee that their students are not being forced to express themselves based on the views and norms of the cultural majority. Rather the students should be made to feel comfortable learning based on their own cultural norms and experiences. To foster this, educators ought to convey an attitude of value and importance regarding their students’ customs, knowledge, and…

    The Voting Rights Movement

    On March 30, 1870 the ratification of the 15th amendment granted African American men the right to vote. After the ratificantion of the 15th amendment, little had changed and blacks were still being denied their consitutioanl rights. Discriminatory practices such as Jim crow laws, property restrictions, literacy tests, and disenfranchisment were put in place in order to continue white privdledge. After being denied their rights, blacks started pushing for equality more than they ever had before (History.com, 2009). Civil rights activists used non voilent protests to bring about change and this was the root of theVoting Rights Act of 1965.…

    Cultural Diversity In Schools

    Due to the continuous increase of cultural diversity within the demographics of schools, the importance of multiculturalism awareness cannot be stressed enough. No matter the setting and situation an individual encounters, diversity will always be present. Perhaps the most important thing a teacher should take into consideration when creating a unit on multiculturalism is to think about which “ideas will endure long after the books are closed and years after the students leave their classrooms (Nieto & Bode, p.345)”. It can also help decrease the likelihood of cultural differences that are behind most of the issues in today’s society. Schools have made some progress in adding lessons about important ethnic figures in history, Black History Month and Hispanic History.…
