Multicultural Education: A Checklist for Selecting Children's Literature in the Classroom.
Cavanaugh, Lisa M.
Insights into Open Education, spec iss Sum 1995
The use of multicultural literature in the classroom can play a significant part in the learning and acceptance process of students. Multicultural books should be brought into the classroom to enhance textbook materials in all subject matters. To implement a multicultural program in the classroom, teachers must become knowledgeable about the experiences of various ethnic groups. Teachers also need to be aware of classroom dynamics to accurately interpret cultural conflict in the classroom and to assess their own instructional styles and verbal behaviors. Teachers need to develop skills in classroom management and discipline techniques that prevent problems and help children learn to resolve problems as they arise, and they need to learn to evaluate and develop multicultural literature and curricula. (Contains 10 references and a multicultural checklist for evaluating multicultural material. A list of 39 books, reference books, catalogs, and videos is attached.) (RS)
