Comprehensive Multicultural Education balances theory with practical teaching strategies. The text uniquely blends diversity theory, history, and social science with sample lessons, cases, and real-world vignettes so that pre- and in-service teachers understand the what, why and how of multicultural education. A comprehensive framework of multicultural teaching and a teacher-tested curriculum development model give you a strong foundation for integrating multicultural perspectives in your own curricula.

The 9th Edition includes 3 new chapters on gender, poverty, and special education. It also incorporates current research and new sections on race and social justice, so that you're better equipped to become informed, caring advocates for all students.
