A related goal of multicultural
education is to help all students
develop more positive attitudes
toward different racial, ethnic,
cultural and religious group. One
way of achieving this goal is to
transform the curriculum by
integrating these groups. James
Banks says that there are four
approaches for accomplishing this.

Special units and topics
about various groups are
added to, but do not
fundamental alter, the
curriculum.
LEVEL 1 : CONTRIBUTIONS
Heroes, holidays and food
become special focus on a
particular day, recognizing
the contributions of various
groups.
LEVEL 3 :
TRANSFORMATION
Curriculum is changed, so
that student see the world
from different perspective of
various groups. LEVEL 4 : SOCIAL ACTION

about their world and
become directly involved in
social action.

effectively facilitate learning for every
individual student, no matter how
culturally similar or different from
themselves.
Schools must be active participants in
ending oppression of all types, first by
ending oppression within their own
walls, then by producing socially and
24. Education must become more fully
student-centered and inclusive of the
voices and experiences of the students.
Educators, activists and other must
take a more active role in reexamining all
educational practices and how they affect
the learning of all students : testing
methods, teaching approaches,
evaluation and assessment, school
psychology and counseling.
