Multicultural Education-- What Is It?  Education designed to promote understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity and cultural pluralism.  Recognizes differences in human behavior as they are influenced by language, race, gender, and national origin or culture.  Implies that teaching will capitalize on the strengths of student differences rather than on their weaknesses.

32 (c) 2007 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved. Equal Opportunity  The number of Asian, Hispanic, black American, native American, and Asian American citizens is increasing.  Federal legislation and Supreme Court decisions require equal educational opportunities for all students.  Equal opportunity does not mean all students should be treated equally.

33 (c) 2007 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved. A Multicultural Approach to Instruction  Become culturally literate.  Create trust and mutual respect.  Use teaching styles that allow for differences in students' learning styles.  Become a community of learners.  Establish positive home-school relations.  Eliminate discriminatory and embarrassing practices.

34 (c) 2007 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved. Teacher Self-Evaluation  Videotape yourself, tally skill and behavior feedback, and ask: –Do I leave out some students? –Are most of my interactions related to behavior rather than skill development? –Do 1 or 2 students demand my attention? –Does each student receive the same information? –Do I play favorites? Do I stay in one area? –Do I notice students who are not trying?

35  More multicultural education takes place when the white kid and the black kid sitting next to each other start making friends than in all the multiculturalist lectures in the world. The teacher [can] facilitate that kind of connection, by having students work together on projects... When learning starts flowing in both directions, student to teacher and back, and then in all directions, everybody to everybody, barriers soon come crashing down, both inside our own heads and in society at large. --Robinson (c) 2007 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved.

36 The Teacher’s Attitude Toward Multicultural Education  Teachers who accept student differences communicate to students that these differences are not problems to be remediated.  Multicultural education is an attitude that communicates to students that diversity is desirable and to be different is okay.

Physical Education and Title IX  Students may be grouped by ability using objective standards of individual performance.  Students may be separated by gender within classes during participation in contact sports.  Portions of classes dealing exclusively with human sexuality may be conducted separately.  When a standard adversely affects members of one gender, appropriate standards may be used.  When a student’s religion prohibits coed physical education, sex-segregated classes are legal.

40 (c) 2007 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved. Failure to Achieve the Intent of Title IX  The content and conduct of many coeducational classes fail to realize the spirit of Title IX.  Even when programs meet the requirements of the law, gender role stereotypes are often reflected in differing teacher expectations for males and females.
