L EDUCATION:
A CHALLENGE
TO GLOBAL
"All men are pretty
much alike. It is only by
culture that they are set
apart."
-Confucius
MULTICULTURAL
EDUCATION
It is a process of comprehensive school reform and basic
education for all students.

It challenges and rejects racism and other forms of


discrimination in schools and society and
accepts and affirms the pluralism (ethnic, racial,
linguistic, religious, economic, and gender, among
others) that students, their communities, and
teachers represent.
Stereotype- over generalized image of a
person; untrue fixed picture that has a value
judgment attached to it.
Prejudice- a feeling favorable or unfavorable toward
a person or thing prior to or not based on actual
experience.

Racism- is the belief that one’s race is superior and


others are inferior.
DIVERSITY OF LEARNERS AND,
MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION
 According to James Banks (1975) the major
goal of multicultural education is to
transform the school so that the male and
female students, exceptional learners, as
well as students coming from diversed
cultural, social-class, racial and ethnic
groups will experience an equal opportunity
in school.
 According to Haertel (1998)
multicultural education enables
teachers and educators to give
value to the differences in prior
knowledge, experiences of
learners from diverse
background and familiarity with
student's histories of diverse
cultures.
Accommodating Cultural
Differences and Commonalities
Fraser-Abner (2001)
 Learn as much as about and become as sensitive
to and aware of racial, ethnic, cultural, and
gender groups other than your own.
 Never make assumptions about an individual
based on their perception of that individual's
race, ethnicity, culture or gender.
 Avoid stereotyping.
 Get to know each student as a
unique individual: walk in the
footsteps of yourstudents.
 Look into your own consciousness and
subconscious biases about the people
who are different from yourselves in
race, ethnicity, culture, gender or
socio‑economic status.
 Plan your activities within multicultural
framework while making your
classroom safe and secure haven for all
the students.
 Infuse multicultural
instructional material
strategies in your teaching.
 foster collaboration and
cooperation among young
learners, parents, and
teachers.
 As Multiculturalism has broadened
and deepened, here are some
fundamental concepts that will help
in enhancing teacher development.
 No two learners are exactly the
same.
 Children in all classrooms are
heterogeneous.
 Strategies that work with one learner
may not work with the other.
 Student’s background and
experiences should be considered
when teaching.
 Community members from various
ethnic groups can assist teachers in
facing issues of ethnic differences and
similarities.
