(Definition)Multicultural Education Definition
A great definition for multicultural education would be “Multicultural education relates to education and instruction designed for the cultures of several different races in an educational system. This approach to teaching and learning is based upon consensus building, respect, and fostering cultural pluralism within racial societies. Multicultural education acknowledges and incorporates positive racial idiosyncrasies into classroom atmospheres.” -
(Goals)Multicultural Education
The Goals of multicultural education in my opinion would be, “Educational Equity, Empowerment of Students and Their Parents and Caretakers, The Development of a Society that Values Cultural Pluralism, Intercultural/Interethnic/Intergroup Understanding in the Classroom, School, and Community also Freedom for Individuals and Groups and finally An Expanded Knowledge of Various Cultural and Ethnic Groups.” -
A song (1995)
Multicultural Songs for Children The song Greetings in Many Languages by Ella Jenkinds
Multicultural Songs for Children The song Greetings in Many Languages by Ella Jenkinds describe what I've learned in this class.What I love about Ella is that Ella shares with children of one culture what she’s learned from children of other cultures.She encourages active participation using music from diverse cultures. -
What other significant insight(s) have you gained and how will this insight impact your personal/professional life?
Everything I have learned has been very helpful. I will use them in many ways, for example I want my class know of each other’s cultures. That way they would be more familiar with each other and understand where they are coming from and not judge. I now understand what multicultural really is and I can take what I’ve learned and apply it to what I will be teaching.
