Multicultural Education
The multicultural curriculum advocated by many early childhood educators, then, is not merely a tacos on Tuesday or tourist approach to diversity, one that emphasizes the exotic differences between cultures by focusing on holidays, foods, and customs... Instead, the suggested approach is to view multicultural education as a perspective that is integrated into the daily activities of the classroom. If it begins with teachers' self-reflection, it also includes an examination of the racism and biased attitudes and behaviors that are structured into our society and our schools, and an exploration and validation of the many cultures that make up the classroom, our nation and our world. from Beyond Family Involvement: School-Based Child and Family Support Programs
