TEACHING
IN MULTI-CULTURALCLASSES
A Multicultural
Classroom is one in which both the students and the
teacher are accepting of all races, cultures, and religions. This acceptance is
evidenced by the books that are read, the activities that are completed, and
the lessons that are taught.
·
Multicultural education embodies a
perspective rather than a curriculum. Teachers must consider children‘s
cultural identities and be aware of their own biases
·
Teachers and parents need to acknowledge the
fact that we are inevitably influenced by the stereotypes and one-sided view of
society that exists in our schools and the media. Hence, we must we recognized
those biases and change the attitude they represent by accepting all children
as we receive them.
·
OPPRESSION- (racism or biased attitudes) a
problem in multi-cultural classes vs. OPPENESS- developing as much effort to
changing to learn about other‘s culture, nurturing diversity by making
multicultural education a process of action.
