Living (And Teaching) in an Unjust World New Perspectives on Multicultural Education

Living (and Teaching) in an Unjust Worldis a response to educators who limit multicultural education to "culture of the quarter" or "country of the week." A resource for teachers who live and teach in the real world, where family structure is fluid, varied, and changing; where students live in mansions, duplexes, projects, or cars; where parents work in factories, fast food restaurants, farms, or universities. A world where every learner is a lifelong learner and every student is valued.Together, these essays will take you into issues of multicultural education more deeply than you have probably ever ventured before. You'll embark on a journey into educational systems and explore the just and unjust issues of schooling . . . the need to move beyond teaching about culture to facilitating self-discovery . . . the way classrooms mirror larger society. And by the end of this journey, you'll reach some remarkable conclusions: that multicultural education has its foundations in democratic classrooms . . . that multicultural education is most easily facilitated when students are empowered . . . and that multicultural education is the best path to true equity in education.Goodman, Wendy is the author of 'Living (And Teaching) in an Unjust World New Perspectives on Multicultural Education' with ISBN 9780325003818 and ISBN 0325003815.
