What is Multicultural Education
 Multicultural education is a set of educational
strategies developed to assist teachers when
responding to the rapidly changing demographics of
their students. It provides students with knowledge
about the histories, cultures, and contributions of
diverse groups; it assumes that the future society is
pluralistic. It draws on insights from a number of
different fields, including ethnic studies and women
studies, and reinterprets content from related
academic disciplines.

Four Approaches to Multicultural
Education (Multicultural Curriculum
Reform)
1. The contribution approach
2. The additive approach
3. The transformation approach
4. The social action approach

6. z
The Contributions Approach
 This approach reflects the least amount of
involvement in multicultural education approaches.
This is incorporated by selecting books and activities
that celebrate holidays, heroes, and special events
from various cultures. For example, spending time
reading about Dr. Martin Luther King in January is a
common practice that falls into this category. In this
approach, culturally diverse books and issues are not
specified as part of the curriculum (Banks, 1999).

7. z
The Additive Approach
 In this approach content, concepts, themes, and
perspectives are added to the curriculum without
changing its basic structure. This involves
incorporating literature by and about people from
diverse cultures into the mainstream curriculum
without changing the curriculum. For example,
examining the perspective of a Native American
about Thanksgiving would be adding cultural diversity
to the traditional view of Thanksgiving. However, this
approach does not necessarily transform thinking
(Banks, 1999).

8. z
The Transformation Approach
 This approach actually changes the structure of the
curriculum and encourages students to view
concepts, issues, themes, and problems from several
ethnic perspectives and points of view. For example,
a unit on Thanksgiving would become an entire unit
exploring cultural conflict. This type of instruction
involves critical thinking and involves a consideration
of diversity as a basic premise (Banks, 1999).

9. z
The Social Action Approach
 This approach combines the transformation approach
with activities to strive for social change. Students
are not only instructed to understand and question
social issues, but to also do something about
important about it. For example, after participating in
a unit about recent immigrants to North America,
students may write letters to senators, Congress, and
newspaper editors to express their opinions about
new policies (Banks, 1999).

The advantages of a multicultural
classroom
 In an ever-changing global scenario, it has become
imperative to equip students with adequate exposure
to be citizens of the future. Canadian International
School (CIS), one of the top international schools in
India has students and faculty members from over 40
nationalities. As a culturally rich mosaic, utmost
importance is given to diversity and socio-cultural
awareness. Students are taught to share space with
a diverse group of individuals from around the world
in a multicultural classroom for a truly international
experience.
