Presented by: Karen M. Ballester ProjecTELL/LCCC EDU 181 April 2005

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. Source:

Did you know that... of the 41% of teachers nationwide with ELLs in their classrooms, only 12.5% participated in 8 or more hours of professional development related to ELLs in in the past 3 years. Source: What are the characteristics of the bilingual education and ESL teacher shortage? Brown & Menken, August 2002

Also...  The majority of white primary and secondary school students have no significant contact with Black, Hispanic or American Indian students in the classroom.

And...  In 2001 African American teachers represented 7% of the public school workforce. African American students represented 17% of the public school student population.  LEP enrollment in PA ( ) was 1,821,146 students. Source: What are the characteristics of the bilingual education and ESL teacher shortage?, Brown & Menken 2002 PA Rate of LEP Growth

General Strategies  Recognize any biases or stereotypes you may have absorbed.  Treat each student as an individual, and respect each student for who he or she is.

More strategies...  Rectify any language patterns or case examples that exclude or demean any groups.  Do your best to be sensitive to terminology.

And finally...  Get a sense of how students feel about the cultural climate in your classroom.  Introduce discussions of diversity at departments meetings.

Multicultural “ideas”  Each month or quarter, 'adopt' a country.  Have a Show and Tell week focused on students' ancestry.  Team-teach a unit with an ESL instructor at your school.  When studying health and nutrition, study diets of different cultures.

Other Resources  Teachers First  Teacher’s Corner  New Horizons for Learning
