110 Ways to Infuse Multicultural Education in Your Curriculum Audrey E Robillard Ed D

This unique book features handpicked approaches, strategies, and tools for teaching multicultural education in grades K-12. It detracted the strategies and activities from Language Arts teachers in middle schools in the sixth largest school district and most diverse ethnically diverse county in the state of Florida. These strategies can apply to any discipline, any level of education, and any school district across the United States and internationally. The strategies presented will assist teachers to move from merely valuing multicultural education as a concept, to practicing effective multicultural infusion or 'intercultural' infusion into the curriculum and moving toward a transformation level of education. It offers practical and tested strategies for teachers struggling with teaching from culturally biased books and curriculum materials. The guide has over 110 ideas for the curriculum to address persistent educational and opportunity gaps faced by students based on socioeconomic standing, race, gender, ethnicity, language, or disability. Suggested activities in the book derived from responses to open-ended questions from teachers involved in "An Exploratory Study of the Perception and Experiences of Selected Middle School Teachers on the Infusion of Multicultural Education in the Language Arts Curriculum in Broward County Schools, Florida." The guide presents strategies in the participant's own words. Most of the strategies reflect Bank's Four Levels of Multicultural Integration. Equity in education ensures that all children can reach their full potential.
