          Education

The Issue at Hand

• Should teachers integrate
  multicultural education in the
  curriculum or base their
  lessons solely on one
  dominant culture?
Common Places
• The United States is comprised of people
  from many different cultural backgrounds.
• People who are knowledgeable in other
  cultures (specifically languages) are more
  likely to be successful.
• Students feel safe and are more likely to
  open up when they feel they can relate to
  something.
• Prejudices and racist views still exist.
What does it mean to teach “multiculturally”?


• It means that teachers integrate several
  cultures into the curricula as opposed to
  teaching from the view of only one
  dominant culture.

• For example, rather than only teaching the
  history of America, the teacher would also
  teach about Native American history or
  Afro-centric history.
What benefits can be reaped?
• It teaches students to value and respect other
  cultures
• Makes students better-rounded
• Students are able to form deeper bonds with
  other peers through mutual understanding
  and respect of other cultures
More Benefits…
• When students see they are learning not only about the
  American culture, but their own and the cultures of their
  peers, they will find the information useful and will be
  more motivated to continue their education.
• Through gaining knowledge, respect, and understanding of
  other cultures, racism and prejudices will be eliminated.
• Students will understand the cultural backgrounds of their
  peers and other people so through this understanding, these
  people will become “humanized” again- thus racism will
  decrease.
• When students become knowledgeable about traditions and
  rites of other cultures, their prejudices or prior assumptions
  about people they do not know will be diminished because
  they will better understand other people.
Addressing diversity in the classroom and in society

• The vast majority of schools and cities are
  composed of many different cultures.
• Multicultural education directly addresses
  the high diversity that exists in most public
  schools and cities.
• Through the acknowledgement of
many cultures, students are better
prepared to face the real world.
Examples of Multicultural Education

• Teaching about Dia de Los Muertos
• Explaining the background of Martin
  Luther King Jr. Day
• Teaching about the Chinese New Year
• Talking about Thanksgiving from a
  Native American perspective
Why isn’t it already occurring?

• Because of other obligations, such as
  standardized testing, teachers don’t always
  have the time to create separate lesson plans.
• Other reasons:
   – Fear of misunderstanding (condescending)
   – Fear of being fired for not following the
     textbook
   – To avoid any conflicts
What can be done to integrate it?

• Teachers need to be motivated and aware of
  what is occurring in their surroundings as
  well as the benefits they will see from
  teaching about other cultures.
• If they begin to see a push for multicultural
  education of behalf of other teachers,
  parents, siblings, students, etc. they will be
  more likely to take the time to integrate
  multiculturalism.
Conclusion
• The integration of multicultural education is
  crucial for our ever-changing and diverse
  communities for students to understand
                                 themselves
                                 and the people
                                 around them.
