What is multicultural education
and what are the goals?
Multicultural education is a style of learning within a classroom which embraces cultural differences and promotes diversity throughout the curriculum. With a multicultural pedagogy, educators promote the various backgrounds of their students to build background within the content, as well as break down possible walls to enhance the classroom community.
The goal of multicultural education is to make each and every student feel special and comfortable within a safe classroom environment. Many students are often shy as to how others may feel about them. Such thoughts can reduce confidence in the classroom as well as disengage students throughout group work or something as simple as raising their hand. Incorporating the multicultural diversity of the classroom only enhances ones' learning and personal perspectives/open mindedness.
